Not only do I have many memories of Norm from school, but also from Evangelical Congregational Church where our families were members. Norm and I attended classes together for two years along with Bob Ehrlich, Bill Buxman, Louis Hein, and one other boy whom I can"t remember. We were confirmed on March 22nd, 1959. Our pastor and teacher was H. Becker. Sandy Weber and Karen Winter chose to be confirmed a year later. They said we, boys, were too onery and they wanted other girls in the class.
