I am so sorry to hear about John. Many of you may not even know John. He was soo intelligent as witnessed by his accomplishments in life. I may have this story wrong but he missed so many days in his senior year that they threatened to not let him graduate EXCEPT that he aced every test ever given him. I didn't see John much during high school but went all through elementary school with him. I am so glad his life was so successful and so sorry it ended way too soon.
