Quite some time ago, before he died,
my uncle Buddy told me that he was
not very popular in high school, and
that he more than likely signed fewer
than ten year books of fellow students.
Huh, I thought to myself at the time,
I was worse off than that, having
dropped out of high school in what
would have been my senior year.
I probably knew fewer than ten
students by their first and last names.
I stormed out of that place in a huff
one day and never returned before
the year books were even handed out.
In my case, no clever sentiment was
needed; I had no friends worth remem-
bering; and no signatures were required.
A few years later in the Army, I had one
good friend at a time, Earl Foster, I recall,
and got a GED instead.
