I just heard today about Lonnie. I knew Lonnie throughout our 12 years of school at Kellyville, Okla. Also in the scouts. I'll never forget: Maybe we were both 11 or 12 and I happened to be in my dad's (the principal's) office at school. Lonnie calmly walked in with what looked like an extra elbow in his arm, it was so bent, and said, "Mr. Cartwright, I broke my arm." He had fallen off the rock wall in front of the school. Our condolences to April and the family.
