Just before entering 6th grade we moved into the Bellingham School District.  I was enrolled at Shuksan Middle School and didn't know anyone.  Kevin and I were assigned as locker partners.  Kevin was a lot taller than I at the time and was already sporting a kind of mustache.  I was scared spitless!  smiley  Nevertheless, Kevin always treated me well other than the occasional "What's up with that?" look directed my way.  I didn't know of Kevin's passing till today and I'm missing my first locker partner.
