While reminiscing about my life (I’m turning 80 as of July 24), I remembered several people who I recalled fondly from grade schools—Laverendre, and Earl Grey, in particular—and immediately recalled Keith, who, while we were not close friends, always got along very well. Needless to say, I was very sorry to read that he had passed at such an early age, but was cheered by the tributes to him in his obituary: obviously evidence of a life well-lived and well-loved. - Posted by: Terry Matheson (Childhood friend) on: Jul 19, 2024
