I will miss Reid. He and I used to pal around, mostly in our senior year. He lived only a couple of blocks away. The most "memorable" time I recall was when we walked to the Armory to watch the City Tournament. I believe that was the night we lost to Griffin High. Then we had to walk back home disappointed, snowy, and cooooold. A total of 3 to 4 miles, back and forth, in the snow. By the time I got back home, I felt like Dr. Zivago with snow frozen onto his moustache. Brrrrrr frown

I was sad to hear of Reid's passing.  We were close through high school and I lost track of him in college.  I had always hoped that we'd find Reid and he'd be able to attend a reunion or at least that I'd be able to talk to him.  I was nice to hear of the path Reid took in life. 

Reid had a great sense of humor and was kind to everyone.
