When Dick and I were at Roosevelt High, I was a lonely, out-of-state transfer and we became friends, skiing together as he noted in my Roosevelt Annual, and tooling around in our Fords, his a '36 Convert and mine a '32 coupe. What I remember is the way he reached out to me to ask if I would take care of his Ford while he was in the hospital having his appendix removed. That was an act of trust that has stayed with me my whole life. We only saw each other once in our later lives at the stop sign at the intersection of Drexel and Mercer where we stopped alongside each other in our much later cars and exchanged a few words and drove on. Dick and I were the same age and I don't attend memorials because that would break the spell of recalling two 17 year olds and our Fords. An act of kindness lasts a lifetime.
