I am posting this comment in four places regarding our HHS championship basketball team.  It is one of the inexplicable coincidences (?) that so many of the athletes who played on that team have been removed from this "mortal coil" so early in their lives.  Their efforts and performances on the court gave joy to us all.  I remember traveling back (from Provo?) to SLC after one of those games (the championship?) with a car full of Highlanders celebrating the accomplishments of our basketball heroes.  They will always be remembered for such wonderful, happy moments.  RIP guys.

Steve and I would sneak onto the Country club golf course everyday during the summer of 1964-1966.  Steve was a very good golfer, along with his other talents. John Landures, Steve, and I would even play for money. John would always win. I know that there is golfing in the hereafter and we will once again play. Love you guys.
