I was a classmate of Bruce, and attended Bethel College Mennonite Church with him. He was a very good friend. In High School, I did not date much, being shy. Bruce kept lining me up with blind dates. I was so shy that I could not talk to girls one on one. I was, however, class clown. I though highly of him, Pete, Linda, and Roger.
