I would say that I had never met a nicer person than Mr. Nate. He extended his kindness and friendliness to everyone he met. The world is now a better place because of the way he left it.
RIP My Friend

"Mr. Orem" was the school custodian at McKenny Hills Elementary in Silver Spring when I attended in the mid-60's. He had a reputation as an artist and I remember once in 4th grade our teacher asked him to spend some time with the class and he patiently sat in a chair while EVERY student in that class came to him one by one and he would draw a picture for each one. I asked him to draw me a "space ship". I still remember it ! God Bless you Mr. Orem !
