Bev Wilcox/Switzer Collins

Darol had an amazing life, I see from his obituary. I first knew him when I was a sophomore at MHS. He was in the Junior College, which was on the 3rd floor of the high school. My sister, Barbara Wilcox, was in the college, and I got to know many of her friends like Darol, Beverly, Jack Farr and Charlotte, Carol Wilson, Bob Wyant, and Bob Campbell (who became a well known doctor in Colorado Springs and saved my daughter's life).

But this memory stands out for me: I was required to take a microbiology class, and I knew the teacher only gave an A to science majors, and I was not. I walked into class, and there was Darol sitting with the science majors, and I sat down beside him. Got an A.

Jack was special to me too. I worked with him many years in Noon Lions and we shared information about working on our class and family websites.
