Lost touch long ago

When Cedil and I were both in the service, (he in the army, me in the Air Force,) I met him aboard a C--130 aircraft traveling back to the U.S.A.   I was coming from Turkey, and Cecil was coming from Germany.  About 15 minutes or so into the flight, this guy gets up out of his jump seat, and comes over to me saying "I think I know you. Didn't you go to West High School?"  I looked at him with amazement, not recognizing him at first.  Then I read his name tag on his uniform, and realized he was our star football player. We shared a lot of memories during that 7 (or so) hour plane ride.

I'm sad to learn he is no longer with us, at such an early age.
