You are the one who gives me your kind love. You seem to be the perfect friend. So I know we'll be together till the end. For no matter what, you're always there. And no matter what, you always care A part of you has grown in me. And so you see, it's you and me. Together for always and never apart. Maybe in distance, but never in heart Anonymous OUR DAUGHTERS Alike but unlike — bouncy, bubbly, impetuous — one tall and dark, the other short and fair — but like sisters. From birth Donna and Gay have been together because of a longtime family friendship, yet they were never forced to be best friends. In fact, during their first four years at Ella Burr when many new friendships are formed, they were not even in the same classroom. Like sisters they have experienced fights, arguments, jealousies, periods of not speaking to one another, and times of special closeness They share all secrets and are brutally honest with one another They also feel as though they belong to each other's family. Gay treats Darren as a younger brother, and Donna sees Glenn as an older brother Another aspect of their friendship is their unique ability to have other friends who share their individual talents and interests. Donna plays field hockey; Gay cheers, they both play tennis. Alike but unlike. We love you both!

Sharon Marie Bumpus As we. the class of 1988. graduate from Mattanawcook Academy, we would like to give special recognition to those people who pushed us- some- times literally- through grade and junjor high school. These are the people that we will remember very clearly years from now because of their lasting impres- sions on us. whether it be because of their appearance, their strict classroom discipline, their caring personality, their dry humor or even their neverending homework assignments These people worked with us day in and day out. teaching us not only out of a textbook, but sometimes about life ifself It is because of those people who got us to high school in the first place that we are carrying our diplomas now And while some of them may be grateful, sad. impressed, or just plain astonished that we've come this far. we. the senior class, will never forget them. They were a major part of our youth. Sabrina Leavitt liBliiifelliiMII VJW a: My favorite teacher was Mrs. Cook. She really helped me a lot in my seventh and eighth grade years. She helped me through a really hard time. She was also al- ways around because I cheered for her. I'll always remember Mrs. Cook when I think of Junior High and cheering. -Mary Bryer Debra Ellen Butterfield ACTIVITIES: National Honor Society 3-4; Cheerleader 2-3; M Club 2-4; Ski Team 1.

I had fun in seventh grade. His class was almost impossible to flunk and he played lots of games. I'll always admire him as a friend and as a teacher -Lorna O'Donal 18 My favorite teacher was Mr. Heggan. I loved to look at all his pickled animals in jars. He was also really clever and wit- ty. I always had fun in his class- room. -Nancy Dolley Mr Heggan was my favorite teacher. His jokes were hope- lessly corny, but he always gave out those candy jelly fish. -Bronwyn Head Theresa Marie Conroy ACTIVITIES: Chorus 1-2; Cross Country 1-2; Track 1,2. Wayne A.

When I was in the second gr.ade Mrs. Giddens assigned us a Halloween Cat to color. When I passed it in she said it wasn't done right, and told me to go back and do it over. This taught me to always do my best on all of my work, no mat- ter what it is, or how unimpor- tant it may seem. -Tracy Gary The teacher I remember as being the most helpful to me is Mr. LaVallee. He listened to me and helped me through the troubled times. He always seemed to cheer me up. -Anna Russell Mrs. Lamson was a well liked teacher by many students. She helped me to grow and pros- per thoughout my school years. I will always remember what she did for me. She was and always will be remem- bered as a true friend. -Beth Oliver 22 When I moved here in 8th grade, I couldn't believe how friendly everyone was. Mr. Theoharides (my homeroom teacher) even assigned me a guide to help me get to my classes. I remember how ner- vous I was about starting Junior High, but I really felt a sense of acceptance right off. I thought I would never like it here be- cause I hated the thought of moving. I've never been more wrong in my life. -Mary Kirkpatrick Mr. Theoharides was my fa- vorite teacher. He always had a Good morning!'' for all his classes and made chemical science really fun. -Debra Butterfield Mr Webster was my favorite teacher. I really enjoyed his class, even if we did study rocks all the time — he made it interesting. -Kim O'Meara Peter R. Smith ACTIVITIES: Football 1; Track 1. Russell R.

And now that we've tak- en the time to recognize some of our favorite ele- mentary and junior high teachers, let us not forget to highlight some other special people-our classmates. These are our peers who have watched us grow from funny-looking kindergarten brats to intelligent, mature seniors. And, seniors, if you can't quite remember just what everybody else looked like back then-let these pictures of a certain first grade play refresh your memory. Boy, have we come a long way! Donna Whitney 24 CLASS OFFICERS: Cathy McKay. Treasurer. Donna Whitney. Secretary; Beth Cahill. Vice President. Danny Ludden, President I 1 CLASS GLUTTONS Donna Whitney Mike Gordon MOST DEPENDABLE Scott Gary Mary Kirkpatrick I enjoyed being in the play because I loved my character, Mildred. She was kind of like the classic female butler in all those who-dunnit murder my- steries. The fact she was really mouthy made her fun to portray. Cathy Jack I saw the play and I thought it was really funny Mr. and Mrs. Morlock were a riot, it was worth every penny and then some. I would definitely see it again if I could. Alice Victory Rest Assured was a moving experience. The char- acterization, plot development, and surprise ending made the play an exciting piece of drama and literature. The acting was also superb, due to the excellent direction. I responded to their perfor- mance with many bursts of uncontrollable laughter, along with the rest of the audience. Certainly, the whole cast is to be congratulated on an excellent play. I loved it. it was mega awesome! Billy Wotton What's up, Doc? Wierd games at the Morlock home. Although I only got to see some of the practices, I could tell that Rest Assured was destined to be a success because all the people in it were very enthusiastic. I could tell that they were really having fun. Todd McLeod Fifteen members of our senior class pulled together to present an outstand- ing performance of Rest Assured under the direction of Judy Reed and Sarah Crockett. Two months were spent work- ing hard on this three act play, but our efforts paid off when the final curtain closed on November 7, 1987. However, it was not all work and no fun, if the cast remembers correctly. Whether it be be- cause of Doug's boxer shorts, Hugh's own concession stand, or the murder of the cow, this cast certainly experienced many a memorable rehearsal, And, al- though there were those times when we really were not sure if the play would ever be performed in public, we kept on trying to please our directors. Everybody in- volved was pleasantly surprised with the final result when the first weekend of No- vember finally came. Overall, I think Rest Assured was a great experience for Sen- iors to get to know their classmates bet- ter, show off their acting ability, and have a lot of fun.

Hugh Michaud UNDERCLASSMEN I am old I can remember when I used to think that high school stu- dents were so mature-almost adults! They were so cool! Now. as I sit here writing for Pine Needles. I realize that I am a junior in high school and I don't feel any different than I ever did I don't feel that high school has made any of us 'cool as such, but it has given us new opportunities to grow and exper- ience new things M A has a lot to offer us if we just take advantage of it in the short time that we have here After all — high school doesn't last forever Lara Jo Gordon Where's my date?

There is no other school like M.A. I find it quite a privilege to go here The reputation of M.A. is great. The teachers are excellent, too! Frank Brown 31 During my junior high days. I was omong the vast group of what are known as the “benchwarmers While collecting splinters and pacing the dugout. I would look up to the starters as heroines I learned from their mistakes ond practiced the skills they hod already perfected I grew not only as an individ- ual. but I also learned how to be port of a team Most of ol. I learned about the quafcties all teams possess spirit, pride, and sportsmanship Now as a junior. I realize that my role has changed. I'm no longer a sideline spectator .. I octualy play! When I look back to the role models I've hod. I won- der. 'Wi I ever be Ike them?'' People like Donna Whitney. Sabrina Leavitt, and Nancy DoHey. the awesome halfback trio in field hockey, have shown me how to learn, but also have fun at the same time Who could forget basketball Tammy Bernard. Chandy Libby, and most of al. Dannie Gress. wiH always hold a place in my mind and heart With these role models, plus many oth- ers, I've experienced both the thri of victory and the agony of defeat Through it al. sports have been very im- portant things n my life. I've hod the privilege to compete, learn, and have fun So I guess you can expect to see me on the field hockey field, the basket- ban court, and the track for at least one more year!

S O P H O M O R E S 1990 As a Sophomore. I realize the impor- tance ot my studies However, tempta- tions are thrown at me for the first time This is the year that I w finally get my driver's icense and posstoiy a job. I also want to become involved with everyth- ing ot school. There ore only 24 hours in the day. and It s rather demanding to go to school, participate in the many activities, and do the daily requirements ot homework each night. Because of this, one must sacrifice an activity or two Meissa Plourde 35 I like my job because I get to meet a lot of people and make quite a bit of money. This sum- mer I got to go down to Old Town and see a lot of people. I might even go to New Hamp- shire for three weeks in De- cember. I also really like my boss. The people make me feel like a really nice person. Cory Day 36 Front Row: Pam Greenleaf, Shawna Moulton, Ann Marin, Shannon Priest, Greg Richard, Wade Foster, Chuck Morrill.

MY ACCIDENT My accident was quite a surprise to me and I was pretty bitter I had to sit out the baseball season, but worse than that were the crutches. I also had to be in a wheelchair for about two weeks so that my skin graft would take. Well. I bet you're wondering what happened to me and why I got hurt. It's hard for me to explain and you should have heard some of the stories that I heard about myself People told me what they heard had hap- pened and it was pretty scary! They came up to me and told me that it must have hurt falling out of the car going 60 mph and then getting run over by six or seven ve- hicles that were behind us. But now I must tell the real story. Jay Deroster and I. accompanied by my father, were on our way back from a restaurant in Howland when we saw the partridge. My fa- ther slowed down to look at it, and I thought that he was going to stop so I opened the door and stuck my foot down. It went under the tire and I yelled, so my father slammed on the brakes. With my foot under the tire, and me in the seat, it wasn't a pretty sight. I told my fa- ther that it was all right, so he got out and looked at my foot which was sitting under the tire. So he ran back and drove off my foot. I puHed it into the car and it only looked like little cuts but. they were pretty huge. I could see my carti- lage around the heel of my foot. It all happened so fast that it didn't hurt and I proceeded to make jokes to my very ill friend who hates the sight of blood Well, the hospital stay was all right. I got plenty of attention and I would like to thank everyone who came to visit me — I really enjoyed cards. When I got back to school. I was asked by everyone in the student body at least five times what had happened but I got through it all. I can't say that it was enjoyable, but the kids made it easier 37 I love high school! There is a lot more freedom here than in junior high There is time between classes here Whereas in junior high, stu- dents had to go straight to their next class. I especially like lunch- time because students don't line up according to their homerooms and can sit wherever they want Trady Daigle E3 So far. high school has been al- right. I've been playing freshmen football and have made many new friends on the team No one has really bossed me around or been mean to me. I'm not worried about that happening here. One thing that I like is the sports seasons last longer than they do in the junior high. Another thing I like is there is more freedom here compared to the junior high. Overall, high school is great Mike Sinclair Solitude. Front Row: Pat White, Kelley Vose, Peggy Turner. Margaret Guiod, Tina Curtis, Mike Sinclair.

I came here thinking everyone would pick on me and make fun of me, but was I ever wrong. Everyone has been so nice, even the seniors, which really surprised me be- cause everyone said they hated freshmen. This has been a really great year so far and I'm looking forward to next year. Jean Suitter 39 V Excuse me — What is this? I like the freedoms that we have up here, especially at lunchtime. In junior high you had to sit where they wanted you to and we hdd to have our homeroom teacher bring us down. I wouldn't go back to ju- nior high for anything.

STUDENT COUNCIL Excitement fills the air each spring at M.A. as the candidates running for positions on the Student Council begin their cam- paigns. The motivated students who run for these prestigious offices care greatly about how M.A. is run and are always on their toes trying to improve student life in every aspect. This select group of people, the representatives of each individual class, are forever striving to improve not only themselves, but also the Student Council as a whole. M.A. is fortunate to have a student body that is wise enough to realize that the Student Council is much more than a mere popularity contest. Among the numerous activities that the Student Council is involved in are the blood drive and the winter carnival. 48 ART CLUB WONDER WORKS First row Jennifer Cotoy.

I began to reflect upon the week I had spent at Husson College, learning not only about poli- tics but myself as well. I was put in a situation which was very similar to col- lege life and I learned to make friends quickly. I also learned how fun politics can be if you really try to get involved in the different levels of government. And although I don't particularly enjoy three am. fire drills, half-mile lunch lines, or 5:30 wake-up calls, the good things certainly outweighed the bad. High on the list of great memories are the party convention when my party dressed in togas, the late-night talks on my floor, the humorous talent acts, and the powerfully emotional lecture given by Dr. Manning. All in all, it was an educational week in which I learned many things about our national gov- ernment and had a lot of fun. Beth Cahill First Row: Nathan Bell, Jeff Quirion, Matthew Kirkpatrick.

The math skills that are used are not only helpful for the math meets, but also for SAT's, AS- VAB's and the real world after high school. The meets provide opportu- nities to meet and compete against other students whom we will some- day be competing against for jobs. The Math Team is an excellent way to sharpen your mind and meet new people. -Amy Burnham Having spent a freshman year as a fledgling Math Team member, I can appreciate the opportunity to participate that I have accrued this season. Contests of the mind are of- ten considered inferior to physical debacles, yet, each is as taxing as the other. I have come to enjoy the feeling of accomplishment that ac- companies a solved problem or a successful meet. I hope to aspire to the upper echelons of problem solv- ing in the upcoming years. This is something I hope to excel at and to be appreciated for such accom- plishments. -Sean Tibbs 51 Seated: (L to R) Sam Wilbur (president), Anita Stew- art, (secretary), Trevor Worcester (vice-president).

Natasha Hunter Music is a very special thing that affects us all. one time or another It affects the musicians themselves, and also those who listen to it There are many different styles of music, but they are all important since they influence one another Here at M A., music is very spe- cial Since there are opportunities to play or sing almost any kind of music, we have many interested and talented students who work very hard and have a good time doing it Since the music program keeps expanding. I am very sure that within a few years. M.A will have one of the very top music programs This will certainly make music at M.A. more fun to be a part of and even more beautiful to hear -Amanda Humphreys Bill Lucas.

This year saw the largest turnout for golf in quite a few years Thirteen boys participated for the Lynx this year. While the Lynx were young and inexperienced, they did improve vastly as the year went on. The team's final record was 1-8. If talented athletes like MVP Joey Grant, Jeremy Swisher, Mike Williams and Dave Pelleman work at the game this summer, they could be a force next fall. Also returning is Dennis Dill who played in the top five all season. Strong freshman and sophomore pressure should come from the likes of Trevor Worcester, Derek Parlee, Stu McCarthy and Dave Gordon. Junior Todd McLeod will also return to try to reclaim a spot in the top 5. If this large and talented group is willing to work, next year could mark a watershed year in M.A. golf and it could be the year that the faculty match isn't so much fun for the faculty. Coach Reed The fame that came with being a member of the golf team this year was a super big problem for us. Fans were persistently asking for autographs and newspa- pers and T.V. networks were always trying to get pictures and footage of us in order to capture our amazing technique. We all had great times riding in the Blue van, eating at McDonalds, and listening to Mr. Reeds awe- some jokes. This season, even though our win loss columns didn't turn out the way we would've liked, it was a very rewarding ex- perience. Dave Gordon . Jeremy Swisher Me and My Shadow Benji McEnroe Return this ace! The tennis teams did not have a banner year if one just considers the number of wins and losses (1-12 boys, 1-12 girls), but a closer look at the individuals on the team and their tremendous improve- ment in tennis skills is cause for optimism. The boy's team was made up of one senior, eight sophomores, and four freshmen. The girls' team had two seniors, four juniors, one sophomore, and three fresh- men. With a seasoned squad returning next year our chances for tournament play are considerable.

It in- cludes such elements as exercise, sportsmanship, relaxation, and sheer fun. As with any sport, tennis gives a person a chance to meet new people I know that I enjoy tennis because it gives me a chance, not only to meet new people, but to better myself in manners, and sportsmanship. I think the reason that many people play tennis is that they find it relax- ing, and tennis isn't a very strenu- ous exercise, as some other sports may be I play it because of the fun involved Try it some day, you'll probably like it! -Scott Cummings 73 TENNIS Victory tastes good. Senior leadership played an impor- tant role in the season Remember the times when Curtis came to the plate and knocked one into the woods, or when Tiger had bases loaded and then struck-out the side? Scott Irish Take me out to the ball game. The excitement grows. Baseball 1987 The 1987 baseball team proved that they had what it takes. With seven out of the nine starters being seniors, the team had all the leadership it needed. With this leadership, and Mr Reed's mission to vindicate himself and the team, the Lynx ended up number one at the end of the regular season That was not good enough; the Lynx ended up going to the Eastern Maine finals. The big factor in this year's success was the hitting. Last year we couldn't hit the ball This year we came out hitting the ball early and never let up. The pitching staff also contributed a great deal by shutting down the opponent. Next year looks promising as well There are many young players returning along with three seniors. The defense looks as though it is taken care of. Now the bats just have to come through once more.

Weekly improvement would soon prevail toward the end of the season and the team would finish on a positive and high note winning the last two games. In a year of State C reclassification there would be new rivalries from the South and the old rivalries from the L.T.C. Five senior team members will graduate in June: Jeffrey Quirion, Mike Kimbrell, Scott Jones, Bernie Botting, and Eugene Powers. Flead Coach Ken Libbey was assisted by Brooks Clark, Jeff Gifford.

Cheering has come a long way in the past few years It has matured from an activity for the most popular girls to look cute in, to a sport for those who put in 100% physically and emo- tionally. Throughout this year, we have grown as a sport. We are not football cheerleaders, we are fall cheerleaders cheering for our field hockey, cross country, golf and also football teams This year we really pulled together as a squad and as friends We became more than just cheerleaders on a team We built friendships that will last long after the season has ended Holli Brown Front row left to right: Lenny Morkie.

Coach Faulkner. Coach Libby. The 1987 MA Spring Track program under the tutelage of coaches Curry. Libby, and Faulkner was a definite success. After an up and down year the girls proved their desire to succeed with a surprising second place finish at the State Class C meet. Two double winners, the first time MA has had a pair of dual victors. Nancy Dolley (100 m hurdles. 300m hurdles) and Katrine Stewart (long jump, triple jump) led the Laay Lynx attack, but the necessary points for the runner up position came from the 4x100 relay team's (Nancy Dolley. Lisa Conroy. Danielle Richard, and Katrine Stewart.) sixth place finish and Lisa Conroy's fifth on the javelin. Regina Hanscom also made it to states in the discus. Throughout the year other important contributions were made by Kathi Gerry. Dee Daigle. Sue Casey. Mary-Ellen King, and Denice Yost, who all participated in Regionals. with many young athletes scoring in regular season meets. The future is bright for the MA girls. The boy's team was led by a talented nucleus of seniors, while depth was provided by numerous underclassmen One highlight of the boy's season was a second place finish at the Penquis League Meet where several runners and throwers turned in peak performances. The boys had eleven qualify for the Eastern Maine Regionals with Paul Healey (800. 1600). and Pat Boss (3200) going on to the State Meet Other Regional participants were Tait Foster, Jason Rush. John VanBuren, Chris Delano, Jim Gil, Brian Bell. Scott Gary. Lennie Markie, and Lee Rush.

I feel good even if I don't win -Nancy Dotey The © are many reasons for people to run Almost every runer nos a different reason Out of the twenty runners on our team, there are twenty dtferent reasons why they run Some people nn because It's the only sport that you don't hove to be good at to partcpate n m x-country. everyone partcpates equal fy. but n other sports, you can sit on the bench for the whole season Many people an to stay m shape for personal reasons, or to prepare for another sport Some an because they enjoy it. whde others rut be cause they Ike the feeing of competition I feel that no matter what you reason for anrtng is. x-country a the most rewordng sport at M A -Alvin Ph xook CROSS COUNTRY 84 The 1987 Mattanawcook Academy Lynx Cross Country squads both enjoyed very fine seasons. The boys squad compiled an overall record of 23-10 and earned a third place finish in the Penquis League Championships. The girls had a 7-9 mark and also finished third in the Penquis standings. The boys squad combined an interesting mix of tested veterans and promising rookies. Seniors Greg Brooke and Lee Rush were consistent scorers all season long and provided outstanding leadership for the club. Junior Benji White improved dramatically as the season unfolded and ended the year as the squad's number two runner Sophomore Alvin Philbrook still managed to be a steady top five finisher. The most pleasant surprise of the season was the emergence of sophomore Sam Wilbur as a force in Eastern Maine cross country Wilbur, who did not run as a freshman, was the Lynx number one runner at the start of the season and never relinquished his position. His hard work paid off as he placed tenth in the Eastern Maine regionals at Presque Isle in early November and qualified for the State meet. The highlight of the Lady Lynx Cross Country team came when the squad finished a very respectable fourth at the Minuteman Invitational Meet in Millinocket. defeating Class A Presque Isle in the process. The number one runner for the Lady Lynx during the course of the season was junior Bobbie-Jo Thomas. She was the top M.A. finisher. She ran and showed outstanding determination despite an injury-riddled season. The future looks bright for both the boys and girls squads. With some outstanding talent returning next season, plus an influx of runners from the fine junior high feeder program, the Lynx promise to be in the hunt for league titles next season. Coach Stevens I run cross-country for many reasons One reason is that I seem to have tal- ent lending more towards endurance than speed Therefore. X-Country's three-mile distance is where I can run my best Another reason of course is that I do enjoy it. Running through woods, around rocks and roots, up hill and down, and crashing through brush and leaves is much more challenging, fun. and interesting than laps around a track. X-country is the quintessential tactical race, and there's nothing like steaming past a tired runner on an up- hiH. or kicking past someone just before the line. Everyone enjoys success Lastly. I run because I feel running has more of a future than many sports. Unlike one season sports, X-country prepares me for running year round; indoor track in the winter, outdoor track in the spring, and road races in the summer. Sam Wilbur 1st row.

At meets you meet lots of new people, and I like doing that. Bobbie-Jo Thomas The Lynx Wrestling Team had another outstanding season this year compiling a dual meet record of 21 wins. 3 losses and one tie. The Lynx wrestlers again have proven themselves to be a team to be reckoned with. l The team has been anchored by seasoned senior veteran wrestlers Troy Voisine, with a 20 and 0 record, and Mike Kimbrell with a 12-2 record. Troy and Mike are both favored to win Penquis League Champion- ships at their respective weight classes for a second year in a row, and do well in Regional and State Competition. This has also been the largest M.A. wrestling Team with 24 wrestlers finishing the season. With only two graduating Seniors, the Lynx Wrestlers are eyeing the future and it looks very bright.

Nothing gets a team more fired up than to see lots of supporters cheering them on from the stands. Any Schenck game is definitely a highlight of the season. That's the game where anyone who wants to see a keyed-up and frenzied game goes out for a night of fast-paced basketball. Anyone who knows anything about the rivalry between Schenck and M A. gets to the gym in time for the Boy's J.V game in order to get a seat! The season may be the longest in high school sports, but it's also the most exciting in my opinion. -Jodi Smith Amy Burnham, Shawna Parks, Heather Varley. Jodi Smith. Jackie Knights. Heidi Bruce. Cyndi Tilton. Allyson Dube. Keely Burnham. Traci Pine. The 1987-38 edition of the J.V Lady Lynx enpyed an outstanding season. Much of the team's success was due to the leadership of co-captains Tracy Pine and Jodi Smith, who also orovided inside and outside scoring The girls proved an season long what dedica- tion. enthusiasm and hard work can produce It was a team in the liveliest sense of the word as several different players took turns being a heroine at any given moment. The Lynx's never say die attitude was evident in heart- stopping contests with Central. MCI and Dexter in which certain defeats all turned into victory. Every player showed improvement over the course of the season, and a solid foundation exists for the varsity teams of the fu- ture. Coach Stevens BASKETBALL 91 First row Jennifer Murchison.

Mr. Dean Libbey has shown us he's got a great sense of humor and a great sense of caring as well. Those two qualities, along with his easy going manner and ability to relate to all kinds of students, make him a very likeable teacher and person. That is why students feel that they can come to him with a joke, story or problem that's really bothering them. It is because of his overall friendly ap- :h to the student body that we, the k tffink j 1988, think so much of him and lerefore proudly dedicate this yearbook to him. Thanks Lib, for being more than a teach- er; for being our friend. 106 MEMORIAL Rick and I were the best of friends; there wasn't a day that went by that we weren't doing something together We used to go fishing every spring We would pack a lunch and go down to the river for a few hours or sometimes all day Most of the time we wouldn't catch anything, but we at least had fun trying. In the summer we used to go to horse pulls, ride bikes, play baseball, isten to music, talk about girls, or just sit around and talk to each other I think we had the most fun in the fall, we were on the wrestling team together and that was mostly what we talked about all fall Rick loved to wrestle! And when we weren't wrestling, we were out doing our favorite thing hunting We would get up really early and do the chores and go hunting all day when we could I can't write enough to tell about aH of the good memories we had together, but I know Rick was the best friend a person could ever have. I loved him as a friend and as a brother. I shall never forget him His friend forever. Eugene Brannen You cherished your friends, and those that were your friends felt lucky. You gave them strength, laughter and love. You were there for them when needed and there even when they weren't sure they needed you. You watched over them and always continued to care. In death, my friend, we parted But not in spirit. You still live in us all. A piece of you is planted in our hearts and the friendship still continues to grow. You will be missed by the class of 1988.
