Brian was one terrific guy. I count it an honor to have been his friend. We enjoyed many evenings together at our shared apartment (Brian, Chuck Freye, Roger McKee, Ken White, me) on Moon street in Lakeside back in 68 and the apartment on Southern in 69. The five of us took a spring break trip of a lifetime to Florida in 68, which included an impluse trip to the Bahamas. Seemed like a lifetime of fun in one short week. Brian was always ready to charge forward, lets go guys. I did track Brian down in Empire about five years ago. It was one of those brief encounters in which we promised to link up together again soon. I failed to follow through. And sadly in that brief encounter I also failed to tell Brian how just how much his friendship meant to me back in the day, how much I valued the time we spent together and what a great guy he was. Perhaps I can relay that message some day.
