This story has remained untold for so long....I really wanted to thank Charles again but didn't know where he was. It was in Art Class that my girlfriend and I were constantly being tormented by a fellow who sat in front of us (who shall remain nameless!) He threw spitwads designed to go down the girls blouses and stuff like that...this went on all the time..comments, spitwads, you get my drift. At some point after days and days of ignoring him or trying to ignore him , he turned around and said to me in a taunting way..." Sally's a virgin..Sally's a virgin.." After day after day of his constant comments I responded with "I am NOT!" Whereupoon Charles got this odd look on his face.... after a moment he asked me.."Sally do you know what that means?" I answered "No, " and Charles said, "Well, when you go home, look it up and I think you will find lthat it's not a bad thing to be." Now this was 8th grade...How many people would say that? I can't believe I was so naive .T o this day I am grateful for his kind comment and I do not know if anyone else would answer that way. Nice guy! Funny the things you remember . Charles will always be a hero in my book!
Harvey was a friend of my boyfriend - he was always fun to be around - The story I remember the most is when he would talk about his dad.. His mom would make these
delicious pies....everyone got a piece if they wanted one....then Harveys dad would spit on the rest of the pie and put it up so noone would eat it. Ha! i Think at time we were taking avout the funny things our parents did....(like they were real people...) So Im posting this to enjoy the sharing...I hate to see our deaceased list with no comments like they didn't exist. Harvey was always a nice guy around me.

What a wonderful writing Sonja, thanks for sharing that will us..When I was checking with the The Tulsa World about photographs for the portrait of Doris Niles, I remembered that David had taken the pictures for the article "Teacher of the Stars". The research and archive dept of The Tulsa World said she would check into that for me to see if those photos could be sent to me. I added who had taken the pictures and she said..."oh well, then I 'm sure we can find them because David was very methodical and precise about all the photos he took, so that they were dated, documented and filed for easy access. It makes it so much easier to find them now.' i was encouraged and sure enough within the next day she called to let me know she found them and would send them on. Somewhere I remember an article that commented on his pear shaped body and how he loved to eat. but above all his photography was his passion and his co workers knew the outstanding results he could get.
The best one was Ms.Doris Niles, sitting in her chair with her cat. Let me know if you would like to see them and I'll find it for you. Sally Flora-French
