I have great memories of Gary in Senior Math. I would work on problems until I cried. Then I would call Chuck Stirton for help. (He always helped, but would never give me the answers.) Then Gary would call or come by my house. I'd help him and then maybe we'd shoot a game of pool. Between Chuck and then helping Gary, was the only way I learned.

Gary taught me many important things during our Senior trip to Disneyland. Things like : How to properly cuss and how to hotwire the vibrating beds in our room. I do not remember who was the third person in our room, but Gary and I placed a shaving cream beard on him while he slept. Lord bless Gary.
