(LB) "Angus reported to his new home on the
Severn after four years of active duty in the Marine Corps. He could
always be relied upon to talk his way out of a tight spot or expound a few
of his own theories. When not engaged in studies, he was usually found
tinkering with audio equipment that adorned his room."

(LB) "Life in the sack with a chocolate milk
shake and the radio went into the making of a perfect winter afternoon.
All else paled, though, when Steam class came around. "Pure
fruit" was his standard answer to every prob, and fruit they were
when the other twenty classmates watched in amazement as A.E.'s slipstick
burned up the paper."

(LB) "Mack would always take a blind date, but
he claimed women were nothing to him. After seeing him rip up a letter
without even reading it, we believed him. Any time of the day we could
hear him singing On the Road to Mandalay, his voice and
cheerfulness will be remembered by us for a long time."
