Dear Randy ~ I was sorry to learn of your passing. I will always remember you from homeroom and health class. I especially remember the discussions we would have about life and the afterlife and the gorry drunk driving movies we were forced to watch in health. You were known around Riley for your "statement blonde, long hair and your motorcycle boots." You were kind and gracious and a good soul. You always marched to the beat of a different drummer and followed your own path. It was always a pleasure to see you around town and chat and catch up. I'm sorry I won't be seeing you around. Take care my friend. RIP. Diane Davis Class of 1974.
