Robert Eugene Johnston, my father - 1949-1993
Amber - a well-liked coworker who died in 1994
Michael Mitchell - my best friend until 7th grade. After a silly argument, I never saw him again (I moved over the summer)I'd love to know where he ended up.
Andrea Van der Heyden - another one-time good friend, not seen since 1983, but talked to briefly in 1988 via phone.
Jim "Dystopia" St. Clair - a former buddy who moved to the Bay Area. We've lost touch. I just get a kick out of him, especially his incessant sexual teasing (knowing I had a crush on him I wouldn't pursue because he's hetero, he once sent me email with the subject line "Because you're my friend, here's a naked picture of me." It had a baby picture.). He's just fun, and I've even forgive him for making me miss the "Treasures of Imperial China" exhibit in 1996. Almost.
Beth Garelle - Therapist from my group home, the first to realise things were not as they seemed.
Larry Park, a fellow inmate at the E. Ross Clark group home. My conversations with him had a large effect on my life. I hope he managed to tame his own demons, and I hope he's found happiness.
Parmala Bagha - Editor of the Valley High school paper, I always thought she'd go far. I'd like to see where she is now.
Scott Schaeffer - a friend from my early college days, the first gay man I actually knew. Talking with him helped me to acknowledge myself. I wonder if he'd be surprised I came out, or say "About time!" I had such the crush on him, and I was such the socially inept guy when I knew him I could never even come close to saying so.
Ronald Davis - 19?? - 1997 My adopted father.
