I remember Dwight as one who was often smiling, or provoking smiles in everyone else. He and Steve Stockmeyer, and others, were the class jokesters, singers, laughers. When I read the biography he wrote on this site for the class to read, his words bring all the antics back, like wetting the end of the paper on a straw and blowing it so it stuck to the ceiling. That just cracks me up.
So my thoughts go to his family and friends. We were lucky to have known him.
