Heroes

Buck Johnson (what a great name, reminiscent of Buck Rogers for us old-timers) was a buddy of my older brother, Jim Allison, through high school, college years at Texas Tech and beyond.  Even though they were some ten years older they would occasionally allow me to hang around.   They were my heroes: terrific high school athletes, scholars and leaders.  It was always a great pleasure to share time with those guys and listen to them recall stories from earlier days.  My brother, Jim, passed away five years ago.  I'm sure he's glad to see Buck in Heaven!  He will be sorely missed!  

Even though we feel sorrow here, there is rejoicing on the other side of the veil!  Rest in peace, Buck!
