Just lost one on 6-30. Class of 1975. He was a nice guy, tougher than anyone would think. He called out the HS tennis coach and said he would meet him in the gym with gloves anytime. He wasn't a real physical specimen but he was pissed. The coach wouldn't commit. The only time I think I ever knew he was pissed. He was an Army vet, Chaplains assistant. He had some kind of surgery for cancer and just couldn't recover. Is it a blessing that it was fairly quick? RIP Mike Beucler.

My HS does an all class reunion picnic. I go every couple 3 years. I had friends in classes above and below me so it can make it nice to catch up. My wife is from a class after mine so she can see some old friends. There is an In Memoriam board that is up every year and it is kind of sad to see the thing growing. It was really sad for my wife to see her brother on the board.
