Below are Alan (the coolest kid) and Jeff Jones (my best friend):
Roger (who had a pet rat) and Tommy Tamura:
and Utz McKnight:
Apparently, I can only remember last names from back then if they alliterate. Utz is an exception because my mother was close friends with his mother, so I could be reminded of his last name in later years.
Those three years in Berkeley (grades 1-3) were very formative for me, due in part to the great friendships I had with these guys.
Hi Brian, Sorry to hear you and Lealle have separated. But good that you're both getting copies of all the family photos. I was in Berkeley in those years too. I was living there from January 1965-July 1972 when I moved to Vancouver. Hope to see you in pottery class again some year. Cheers, Penny
ReplyDeleteHi Brian,
ReplyDeleteIt was by chance I saw the picture you posted of me this morning. I am so glad you are doing well! Yes, you were a great friend and in spite of your current relationship situation seem to have done well. I am currently a professor at the University of Alabama where I chair the Department of Gender and Race Studies. Always exciting. I get back to the Bay sometimes to visit my family. Take care and I hope the separation isn't too difficult. Thanks for posting.
Alan Shaw is a math professor now I do believe.
