Memories of Dean Deffenbaugh

by Bob Martin, Col. USA

Yes, I remember Dean.  He was great in sports and was one of the guys in the school who could out run me in the 100 yard dash.  I met up with Dean a couple years out of high school when I spotted my Dodge Super Bee that I had sold across the street from where I worked.  I worked at Sears Parts Dept on Oakland Blvd at the time.  I stood there and watched Dean getting ready to open the car door and yelled at him.  We had a good talk about what we were doing and the fact that he had purchased my car.  I had to get rid of the car because I was getting drafted in the Army to support Viet Nam.  I was drafted in the army and never dreamed that 35 years later, I would still be serving.  Yes, I had fond memories of Dean.  He was very competitive and just a good guy to me.  I am sorry he is gone.
