Thanks, Bill, for sharing that information. Garland was one of those quiet guys that can easily be forgotten if their friends are outside of the class. I always wanted to get to know Garland better so I am glad you were his friend.

I'm glad their pictures are there, then I remember better. I also remember him as a nice, quiet guy.

I remember Garland as well as being nice and mostly quiet. But I remember his laugh. He had a good sense of humor and could he pretty funny.
