Highland Park High School Class of 1963 - Reflections of Paul Garfield

Body:
Paul and I shared so many things starting in high school. He convinced me to go out for the track team freshman year-he was a high hurdler. The only thing they could find for me was the mile (where my only claim to fame was the number of times I was lapped on the indoor track). I was always amazed he ran hurdles when he had a severe case of asthma and was constantly having to use an inhaler. We were very close all through high school, college and in our 20's-we stood up at each other's weddings, shared the joy of the births of our children, and then our contact grew less frequent after he and his family moved to Hoffman Estates, which in the 70's felt like it was California. We lost contact for many years and then in the late 90's I called him and we re-established contact. He closed his business and he and his wife Marsha moved to Mercer, Wi-way up in the northern most part of the state where they built a house on a lake sometime in the early 2000's. I didn't know he had died until Marsha called me about 6 months later to tell me he died of lung cancer. Paul was a good listener and friend-I miss him.
