Chris Mal Notes: |
Dennis was another one who didn't get
his picture taken for the yearbook and was subsequently missed when we
sent out invites for the 10-year class reunion. (Why would so many
people not get their pictures taken?)
The fact that Dennis was voted "Most Spirited" in the Class of
'86 makes it kind of ironic that we sorta overlooked him, and
likewise kind of odd that someone would be class "Most
Spirited" but refuse to put their picture in the senior yearbook.
Helping Dennis to win "Most Spirited" honors was his
role as the "Mountaineer" mascot at all of our school sporting
events.
Dennis and I were in Boy Scouts together. He was always very
enthusiastic in all of his endeavors.
If I remember correctly, Dennis lived less than a minute's walk from the
Mt. Penn Volunteer Fire Department and was an active participant along
with others such as Mike Vogt.
He and I used to call each other "Tweeter Bro" which had
something to do with our use of the "tongs" in Chemistry class
which we called "Tweeters", the reasons for which are probably
lost forever in time. I guess when you're in 10th grade there's
just something amusing about pinching each other with tongs and giving
your tongs a name like "Tweeter."
On 11/28/02, I received an email from a friend
of Dennis who went to college with him at Penn State and was hoping to
find his email address on the Internet. He didn't find it since
Dennis is one of the few people who I haven't been able to track down (or,
rather, one of the few who hasn't searched for his name on the Internet
and found this site!) He did tell me that he is probably still
living in Fleetwood, his wife's name is Wendy and she graduated from
Exeter, and that he is/was working at Competition Tire, an affiliate of
GoodYear. |
