Tyrone 's Story
There are certain classmates from the Franklin Heights years who I still recall with great warmth. As I review those years, I find that many of the people who spring to mind were not my closest friends (who I recall with great warmth, too), but simply wonderful people with whom I connected - often without realizing it at the time. Linda McBrayer. Mary McDaniel. Mark Hollingsworth. Connie Cooper. Randy Ike. Joe Landis. Angie Morgan. Donna Salyers. The Shy boys. Jean Szall. Dennis Jennings. Bucky Mounts (remember that fingernail?). Ivy Alderman. Jenny Gavin. Steve O'Malley. Luann Parkinson. Pete Willis. Jim Passias. Peggy Fahy. Georgeanne Krause. Rusty (Eagle) Spears. ...Expand for more

These small moments, from forty years ago, seem so large in the course of life. If there is a common thread, it is that - in critical moments, no matter how small - they were each exceptionally kind. Several were insightful, too.
As a "gentleman of a certain age", I would now ask to be able to go back in time, to stand immediately behind the young Tyrone, and to gently remind him to be supportive of these gentle folks, at any cost. As I age, I appreciate more, with each passing day, the value of basic decency. As the world ages, it seems that this valuable human charcteristic becomes more scarce, more guarded, and - yes - more valuable.
