DEATH IS A STATISTIC, WHICH MEANS NOTHING UNTIL IT STRIKES A FRIEND. LAST OCTOBER, DEATH BECAME A REALITY RATHER THAN JUST A STATIS- TIC FOR THE STUDENTS AT MEAD HIGH SCHOOL. Duane Lee Parsons was born on February 23, 1960 in Omaha, Nebraska. He is sur- vived by his mother Catherine, his sister Neva and his brothers; Bob, Steve and Ted. Duane attended Yutan school through Fifth grade. Then he entered Mead in the Sixth grade. He was an active member in FFA. Duane passed away while attending classes on October 7, 1977. His sudden death showed us what it means to lose a friend.
