I graduated from high school in 1960. He was a year younger than I. He was the high school quarterback. [View all]

I was lucky if I weighed 110.

He was a bully. He bullied me.

He went to Viet Nam where he got killed.

I was glad he got killed.

Now I have mixed feelings 'bout being glad he got killed.
