Dwayne Morise:  

in, cared about people (no matter what race you were). I actually showed him how to dunk a basketball. We would practice "slamming" before our regular practice. While I was overseas in Japan playing with the joint star/stripes military basketball team he was on his way to the pros, However when I came back to the states I was informed that he had passed. Many of my friends that I had in middle school attended Hillsdale, like Steve Cannal, Jeff Maroni, Todd Bickel, Doug ???, Sharon Simon and her brother Mark. When I felt the need to transfer to San Mateo High School and departed for overseas - I felt that I lost many friends along the way. I truly understand the importance of staying in contact with past friends because "life is short".
