Redford Memories:

My thoughts about our class are unlimited. Every day more and more of them surface, especially since this net was created. I've thought about many of you over the years and bring out the Blazer from time to time. We were blessed with a great class with so much talent. There are too many thoughts to highlight and not enough space to cover all of them. I'm very proud and honored to be a small part of Redford and say thanks for that opportunity.

Garry wrote me on classmates.com summer of 2014, and we’ve been in touch ever since. I called him in 2015 when he was in an Indiana rehab facility, and it was then he told me his twin, Larry, had died at age 56 of lung cancer. I mention this only because others may be wondering. 

Bette Jo is correct, his enjoyable emails continued to the end, and his replies were well thought out and sincere. My sympathy to his family. I know he’ll be sorely missed.
