DEDICATIO Recently, Parker became aware that a delicate balance had been significantly disturbed. The usual accepted and expected problems continued to frustrate and confuse but their solution, the solution, was missing. Since 1978 one man played a special role in maintaining our occasionally malfunctioning com- munity. lf Parker was excessively dependent, it was justifiably so. It is tempting and comforting to rely on someone who is consistantly helpful. It's even easier when that individual is friendly, kind and remarkably selfless. lt is with great respect, admiration and appreciation that the staff of the 1987 yearbook wishes to dedicate this edition of the Parker Record to Handy Walker.

FRED DUST ' ' - wxxytkkx ww 5 'v '1's'v's'4s 3Y , DEDICATIO Even now it is difficult to believe that he is actually leaving. Fears of future chaos and predictions of disaster are barely reduced by a practical sense that Parker will, of course, continue to function. The community will live and think without the concerned and thoughtful direction of Fred Dust but, perhaps, with certain terrible differences. Mr. Dust's special dedication, sensitivity, understanding, and fairness may well be irreplaceable. It is, however, the unique intensity of these attributes that will insure their future as well as encourage sadness over their loss. It would be, in fact-, an improper tribute to Mr. Dust to envision a weak future without him because, by nature, his thoughts, accomplishments and concerns are dynamic and consciously future-oriented. He will be missed dearly but also remembered daily. l- Dedication
