I went to NBHS with John. He had a larger-than-life personality. He and a bunch of buddies joined the USMC in high school. At that time, Vietnam was a fantasy. That he went, survived, and returned to "normal" life in terms of family and the NBPD is a testament to his character. Mr. Murpy, an elegant educated man, was our English teacher. Many of the NBHS teachers at that time were highly qualified. Ray
