William Angell

Orlie and I found ourselves sharing the same off campus housing on Murray Street in Macomb Ill. at Western Illinois University our freshman year.  Orlie lived on a different level of the house so we didn't see that much of each other.  I most often saw him ironing upstairs so he was always a lot neeter than me.  He believed in taking care of himself and I hated to admit that he could do more pushups than me which were essentially one arm pushups because of his polio in one arm.

Great picture Bill. I am looking forward to the reunion this year. Glad you are going to be there. How many years has it been?

I mostly knew Jack in grade school since we didn't live that far apart on the South Side.  I remember Jack having a fondness for the outdoors.  Occasionally we would camp out over night at one or the other's house and often we would go exploring.  One night we went into a farmer's field and just laid back and took in all of the stars.  Jack knew a lot of the constellations and I never saw so many shooting stars as I did in those few hours.

Rest on in peace among those stars, Jack.
