Sad news. I just learned from home that the guy who accompanied most of my high school vocal groups, who was two years behind me in school and later went to (one of) the same colleges I did, has passed away from complications related to AIDS. I don't know if I ever even saw him after high school, but he was a really nice guy. I remember a long evening in 1992 on show choir tour (yes, lord help me, I was in a show choir) when my friends and I spent hours hounding him around a Holiday Inn "Holidome" with those spring-activated guns that shoot little yellow pellets. It was sort of like The Most Dangerous Game, except not very dangerous. He was such a nice guy, and my prayers are with his family and friends. I'm sure he'll be missed.

I'm not going to put his name here for the sake of his family's privacy. If you are reading this, know who I may be talking about, and haven't heard, feel free to contact me and I can give you what very little info I have.
