John was my freshman year roommate at Georgia Tech and sae fraternity brother. We were both from Orlando. John was a brilliant student and very nice person. After we graduated I was an officer in the Army,I left the area and had a career in sales in the paper industry in Maryland and we lost touch and I retired to New Mexico with my late wife.
