We didn't know it at the time, but Dave Sliney was the inspiration for the TV character "The Fonz" in Happy Days. Dave was a hard guy but he had a heart of gold. I always had fun going at it with him as we ragged on each other. Armanini was right when he said it was too funny when Dave drove up to the front door of the reunion on his Harley with his raccoon hat on. That was true Dave Sliney style. I imagine Dave stayed true to himself and kept doing things his way for the 65 years he was here with us. Gotta love it !!! Gary Katz

So sorry to hear of Mark's passing. He was a great guy. Always remember how fast he could run in 8th grade at Vallecito. We were on the track team together and he was lightning fast. He was a classy guy also and showed it at the Schulman Cotillion dancing sessions. My condolences to his family.
