(BIO): "LaVoy was my first friend in Utah when we moved to Provo in the summer of 1946. He was a year and a half older than I, and lived two houses down the street from us. We played together every day the two years we lived there. I didn't see him as often during the next few years, but we did write for awhile after we moved to California in 1952. Over the next few years I saw him a few times, when we re-visited friends in Utah. The last time, in 1977, I visited him at his parents' house – the same house whose basement we had played in 30 years earlier. He had two young daughters by then. I never could find him again, and now I see why: I never knew his first name was actually Bert! (From Kent Myrick #46823561)"
