Gordon 'Dent' Pickett (1948)

Larry Mickel graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.   Larry and my sister Gloria SPSMHS Class of 50 were sweethearts, and I recall Larry winning a boxing match against me in HS.  Also,  I see Kenneth Good is listed as deceased in 1963.   Ken was also a prized friend of mine as we used to run on the SouthPas Cross Country team togeather.  Ken was the "best" runner as I recall.  I remember with pride and fondness both, Larry and Ken each memorial day.

 I was at the Naval Academy when Larry was at the Point, as was tradition we bet with each other on the outcome of the Army/Navy Game.  I won Larry's Bathrobe the first year, his Blanket the second, and his Gold Cuff Link senior year.  They are till among my keepsakes today, and I think of Larry each time I wear my formal shirt with the Cuffs.
