I always think of Bruce, and his great sense of humor, when I recall the days of working out at OSU in our 'circuit weights' class. Bruce would count down faster than 'real time', and we'd all laugh, since we too wanted the 'reps' to be finished. Hard work to lift those weights! Bruce and I also had many a discussion about children and how they learn and grow. I appreciated his ideas, as I was an elementary school teacher in Corvallis.
We would interact with Bruce at various gatherings, and he was always 'upbeat'. When Bruce and Jana moved to Bend we became better friends with them - going to art walks, movies, meals, visiting them at their new home, watching movies, going on walks, driving them to Corvallis. Absolutely every time Mark and I enjoyed being with Bruce & Jana. I miss Bruce very much, but we're fortunate to still have time with Jana.
