Jonathan and I were in the same home room. As I remember, he died in a car crash in which 5 or 6 students were involved. I think they may have all died. It was a huge shock. I wonder if others have memories of him they want to share.

So it happened after we graduated? That summer of '68?

Jon and I went to Friends (Quaker) Meeting together and our families knew each other there. I remember a memorial at their house there in Northport.

Jonathan and I had participated in protests of the war together.

Anyways, on to happier memories ...
