Dennis E. Orton

I knew Dennis in boarding school -- Choate, in Wallingford CT. I think he came in sophomore year; he instantly made an impression. We saw a lot of each other -- we were both on the student council and ran track (he was sprinter). He was top-of-the-class smart, funny/ironic toward his wet-behind the ears classmates. He knew stuff we'd only find out about years later, sometimes never. It cannot have been easy being one of the few black kids in a very white school. He didn't try to fit in, how...

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Sending condolences to Brenda, Nadia and family.
