Fritz Kohl was diagnosed in July of 1983. The diagnosis was immature taratoma - a brain tumor. The doctors and special- ists didn't know much about the tumor because it is very uncommon. Fritz had to undergo treatment and the type of treatment required six different types of drugs. The drugs made him very sick and after his cancer spread, they had to change the type of drugs. We asked Fritz's mother what special qualities he has and she explained, Fie has a special kind of courage that I have never seen before. Fie has said that he will never give up and he will fight until he can fight no more. Fritz has touched many people. Fritz still enjoys the pleasures of reading and doing cross- word puzzles. He also enjoys getting back to his school work. Fritz would like to say, Thanks to my parents and family for all their support through all the hard times. I would like to thank Camp Good Days and Special Times for showing me that even though I have cancer, I can still have a lot of fun. We the Class of 1986, proudly dedicate Legend to a young man who has been an inspiration to all of us. Fritz, your classmates wish you the best of luck! 2 Opening
