He was very quiet and so very tall.  They wanted him on the basket ball team but he had no interest whatsoever. He lived across the street from me and I remember his mother serving us milk laced with root beer.   I can still taste those drinks to this day.  I left Kenosha for all intents and purposes in 1962 and never saw him again.  We reconnected on classmates.com a couple of years ago and I was struck by the sadness of his life.  I hope he now has the peace he seemed to yearn for and could not find.

I'm sad to discover Ira passed away. He was a great friend in HS and without him I'd probably never have made it through Advanced Algebra. He will be missed.
