Greg and I became friends at BLHS and have remained in touch ever since.  We had many fun experiences together including trips we would take during our summer vacations.  On a camping trip Greg taught me that a good breakfast consists of dumping peanuts in a bottle of Pepsi, shaking it up, and then drinking.  He lived a fascinating life and I am a better person for having known him.  Rest in peace Greg.
