As a D.E. student in my junior and senior years, I worked at TV Service Center, next door to the gas station owned by James Howard's parents. Somehow Mr. and Mrs. Jones and I found out that James Howard and I were both born on June 27, 1946. I felt so sorry for them that I almost hated to be around them, especially around June 27, as I thought I might remind them of his passing, and trigger grief. I may have been overly sensitive, but always thought of him when stopping for gas. He was a likeable and friendly young man and had equally nice parents. Donnie

James died our senior year. The Tatler is dedicated to him. I think he died in 1963.

He was my best friend at JHS. He was killed in a car accident in November, 1963. I have thought of him many times.
