We were buddies at Chapparal JH.  You were my friend.

I am sorry to hear of Arthur's death.

He befriended me at Chaparral Junior High. He was handsome and cool and I was the skinny nerd. But he never treated me like a nerd. We had some great times together, good times and "bad times," all in good fun. Since the statute of limitations has expired on the bad deeds, I admit that most of the nefarious conduct was my idea.

He was a true friend.

Great old friend..When i moved back to Alamogordo for a time in 1977 he was the first to come visit me when he heard i was living there again. He came rolling up on his chopper. Boy did we have fun finding things we shouldn't be doing back in junior high. RIP brother..see you on the other side
