In Memoriam

Some of you guys probably never knew this, but Brian Kosla passed away back in 1990. As far as I know, he is currently the only deceased member of our class.

Anyway, he was not allowed to attend our graduation ceremony due to an "incident" at prom. Afterwards, (maybe June?) I had a party at my house to celebrate(I seem to remember several parties between January and June) We dressed Brian up in graduation cap and gown,sang the graduation hymn as he walked down the steps and he seemed to get a big kick out of it. My mother still had this pic in a little photo album with the newspaper article about his death. I'm not sure if his family still lives in the area, but they might like to have this photo, so if anyone knows them, forward this onto them.

I was never super close with Brian but he was a really good guy - albeit a little crazy at times :)- and very funny. Who can ever forget him running full-tilt, head first into lockers, using the metal plate in his forehead as a helmet. Hilarious! That guy was one tough dude...

Cheers!

Well, the visits/stats are still pretty high, so I think it's mostly voyeurism...

I remember this picture Andy! It was taken at the bottom of your basement stairs! He was THE MAN!! If it were not for your sister, I probably would have been busted with Brian that infamous prom night! (Thanks Deena!)
