I am saddened to learn of Art Gerbec's death. He was friend in High School and afterward. He was a great track teammate and terrific runner. Once my family doctor asked if I knew him and said what a healthy-looking specimen he was. I agreed. When he would get tired in a race, he tended to gallop. I have good memories of you, Art. Somehow you sometimes went by Bill. I don't know why. I bet you died with a smile.
