John and I were classmates, "AHS Class of 1961", also team mates in football, track and FFA Parliamentary Procedure Team. We visited during our 50th class reunion, to my recollection it was our first
meeting since graduation. We discussed our Vo-Ag class visit under Howard Bryant's guidance docking/neutering sheep on the Mills farm, and John's dad claiming we also neutered one being reserved for
a ram. And laughing over John, Ron and his dad chasing several of us thru the Ashley State Forest after being observed checking out the watermelons one late evening. I am glad I got to spend that
time visiting with John and reminiscing. John was a great guy and friend, please accept my sympathies in your loss
