My condolences to Carls family. We were good friends back in jr high, 6th-7th grade. One thing that comes to mind is we used to take our skateboards up Tibkes hill and ride them down, we´d be flying & no one ever fell off. In hindsight, or as a parent, what a foolish thing to do, but boys will be boys! Then in `77 I moved to TX and lost touch
