I RODNEY WAYNE BURKE Rod” Often a silence has voice and words.” An individualist, Rod” was a quiet member of our class, and yet there was strength in his solitude. Never was this more evident than when he talked, and walked beside you, or just listened. This strength, a disarming smile, and a little bit of time for all the world kept him fairly busy with the extracurricular activity of being a friend and companion. Certainly every member of our class will heartily agree that the extra special something that was Rod” will always be in our hearts and memories. May he always be a devoted student of human nature, for none of us will ever be too old to be a student in that respect.
