Alan Allen - Souvenirs & Documents

Gary Stading (KIA 25 April 68), took an art class with Patty Jaeger in high school, when she was a junior and he a senior. They swapped a piece of each others artwork, and Gary gave her this boxer. She kept it all these years, not really knowing why, except out of respect for Gary. When she read what Alan Allen had written about Gary on the virtual wall, she decided she should give it to Alan. She contacted Bill Wendover, who was friends with Stading in high school, asking Wendy for contact information. Alan gave Wendy permission to pass his contact info on to Patty and soon she sent him the artwork. Patty told Alan that Gary and his twin, Daryl, used to visit at her home during HS, and hang out.
Gary evidently was well-thought of by classmates. A club he belonged to has posted a lot of remembrances about him.
