Nick and I were selected for "accelerated math group" while at Sevier Junior High. Our Mom's car pooled us to summer school to take the 8th grade math class. Much later, I visited him and asked he visit my nephew who was hospitalized with the same rare nerve disorder, G-Barre syndrome. And he did. I recall Nick describing the physical effort required to overcome the condition, " pulling himself along the floor with his hands..." He remembered my sister' Dorothy's father-in-law Emil Petrone, a Vanderbilt graduate but a huge UT supporter. I know nothing of Nick's spiritual state, whether he ever met the living CHRiST, yet I hope to meet him again. We sure do miss him!
