Dr. Coyle was a long time classmate of my Father. I look back on the fishing trips we use to get to go on while the two fished for trout. I remember going to visit them at thier home in Kirkland Which was a whole days outing because it was before the Evergreen floating bridge was built. I also remember how he always wore cowboy boots in a time when only farmers or ranchers wore them and my father use to warn us not to wear them because it would deform your feet. And we always would come back with "But Dr. Coyle can wear them and so they can't be all bad!" He was always a close family friend even after they relocated to Calif and we always looked forwards to visits by Dr. Coyle and his wife, Marifran who was a classmate of my mother.
