Ron was one of my closest friends through high school. We explored the usual adolescent adventures together and bonded in the competitive world of the swim team. He had a positive and open view of the world that I often remember. 

Ron and I were close friends. He was going to join me when I left the country in December 1971, but after his tour in Viet Nam he preferred to chase the "American Dream" he sacrificed for in Nam. I was hoping to reconnect with him at the reunion, and was shocked to discover his name on the list. Thanks for the memories dear friend, especially as we explored the doors of perception.
