I was actually fortunate to see Dr. Levay this summer at a 50th wedding anniversary of some mutual friends of ours. I didn't know him personally, though by all accounts, he was a really great guy. However, I was a student at Chopticon HS when Dr. Levay was the Principal there. I believe I might have been the last class to graduate while he was there, or close to it. (1977) His obituary included many accomplishments, not the least of which was enlisting in the US Navy in Dec. of his senior year in HS after the attack on Pearl Harbor. He went on to serve aboard the USS Maryland for 2 years.
