Well, damn....  this was a sad thing to read this morning.
We were never "buddies", but were casual friends, the kind you
take for granted. 
I never asked, does anyone know how he got the nickname Tam?
Such a good guy, never heard of a single person that didn't like him.
We always knew he'd grow up to be an academic... most of us knew
he was at Duke, for many years, and I just know his students were
so lucky to get him.
RIP Tam..

Speech class at Waltrip....
one of my favorite teachers and favorite classes.
Who knew how much that stuff would serve me so well thru-out my life.
(I no longer stand like a flamingo when speaking to a group!)
Ms. Kahla was extra extra special.... she made each class feel like
a family. Her warmth and sweetness was always present.
I loved that woman.

(Note to admins: her birthday is shown as '27, '36 and 37 in various places.)

... very sad to hear this. David was always smiling, relaxed, and
cheerful... and always had a cadre of friends around him. I knew
him mostly from school, and though I had lived on Wakefield until
junior high, I never knew he lived on Wakefield, too.,
I never heard a single negative thing said about him... good guy.
Deepest sympathies to his family.

I never knew you were artistic... how absolutely cool.
Now I'm wondering how many of our other classmates
may have had artistic talents. I used to paint, still want
to get back to it. Most all my paints dried up, and have
slowly been replenishing. I went to Ski Santa Fe once,
about 30 yrs ago... my one and only time to go skiing
and had a wonderful time. I lived in Denver for 1 1/2 yrs,
but although we went up into the mountains, we never went
skiing there. So, anyway, how long have you been in Santa Fe?
and do tell about your trip to Paris... (I went twice, as a teenager,
but was with my dad, so that was limiting...)
btw.. we were in 6th grade together, Mrs. Mewhinney's class, in
case you're wondering..
