I remember John as always having this gushing smile on his face. I was in his home room the first day of high school. We all just took seats where we wanted and the teacher had packets he wanted us to come to his desk and pick up and had a sheet to sign with the words "Put your John Henry on this sheet." John was in the first seat and walked up to the desk, got his packet and signed "John Henry" on the sheet. The teacher says, "Oh! We got a wise guy." Can't forget John grinning and trying to tell him his name really was John Henry. Don't remember who the teacher was but he had to look at the roll sheet before he believed him. Quite a coincidence but a true story!
