We sat next to each other in first period choir practice from 1977 to 1980 when you graduated. You taught me how to play chess during the class. Although I have only played 10 or so times since, I have thought about your kindness to an underclassmen many times. Everytime I hear the word "chess" I would think about you. Those wonderful memories will continue. Thank you so much.
