Lorne lived a few house down from me (43rd Ave) from 4th grade through high school. He, Ricky Kurtz and I hung out quite a bit...along with Mike Williams, Pete Wells, Moe LeCompte, Mike Metzler, and Mark Andrews (referred to as the Allendale gang by Mike Mears)...also Billy Clayton a little later. Plus Janet Sando and Lynn McClain...all the same age...born 1954! He was always the mature, level headed one, not interested in smoking...etc. Ironically, he was the one caught by police when we were pulling a fake snake across the road in front of cars. We all ran, but he got nabbed when the cops showed up. I lost touch, but in 2020 (Mol) he told me he was moving into my neighborhood in Rock Hill! I met his lovely family. Before we hung out much after the 50th, he got his bad health news. I am grateful I got to visit him after. The last time was Sunday before he died that Tuesday. He couldn't talk a lot but held my hand tight for a while. At his funeral I learned a lot about his full life, Dr. Wenzel

Hi Mike, It was nice seeing you at the reunion. I hope you and your family are all doing well.
My email is brettstaylor@gmail.com . I am living in South Carolina. We had lots of fun growing up playing wiffle ball, football, hot box and 4 square together.
Take care,
Brett
