I remember when I always wore these purple shorts to track practice. One time James was walking behind me and told me they need to be a little shorter. Even though they were already pretty short.

I remember one night before a very cold Friday night football game, I was complaining how freezing cold it was.

Kelanie Claude
I remember drinking at Spicher's when Colin said, "Unger is coming!" I was like, "YES!" We saved some captain for him, but he never showed. I have to say I was bummed, I ended up finishing it. Bad idea, I puked all over. I wish he came. I barely made it home. I wish he was still here. He was a good friend.

I remember...
James was a hard student to read. Sometimes he came in with a grin but other times you could read the boredom on his face as he lounged back in his chair. One funny tradition we had occurred everyday while taking the lunch account. He never ate lunch, and so when i asked everyday who was not eating hot lunch he would, almost always, be the only hand in the air. I would then ask if he wanted a salad. Everyday he would say no. One day he asked, " Why do you ask me that?" I told him i considered it our moment, our opportunity to bond. He rolled his eyes, the class laughed, and I detected a smirk. Thereafter, I always made sure to grin at him when I asked. I'm sure he thought I was a nerd, but I felt like I saw a crack in his attitude towards me. I will miss that little smirk and will think of him every morning.
Mrs. Leksell
James,
Your quick grin will be missed deeply. I'll always think of you as Léon- the quiet one, but with a quick wit and friend to many.
Señora Paulson
Just with us a short while
Always hung out with Gunther
Made track hand-offs look a cinch
Everyone seemed to like you
Saying a prayer
You will be missed!
Mrs. Heller
My first and fondest memory of James was the first days he was at NEH. James was quiet and shy, but it didn’t take long though for him to warm up to us and his smile to come out. It was a beautiful smile. Always in my memories.

When James came to Physical Activity, he always did more than I asked. We went out to the track and told him to walk 4 laps, instead James ran all 4 so I talked to him when I got done and told him he was so fast he better go out for track! Then he much more wanted to do push-ups instead of planks! He was such a fun kid to have in Physical Activity.
