Patrick Sullivan

Very sorry for this news.  RIP, Rob Burns.  I'm afraid I never knew him, but certainly remember him from Howard days.  I moved in to the area Nov 1969 and he was the first one i saw at school.  I was affected by his tall, perfect presence and wondered if I moved in to a very rich neighborhood (Well, it is a wealthy neighborhood) where everyone looks like an actor or an actress.  Later that day, we would have a sort of free for all of throwing of basketballs in the gym and I saw him deciding where to throw, but with this dignified air as he tossed the ball up and down in his hand.  Again, more insecurity on my part as everyone would have to ice skate for gym class and I came from a place where I could not.  I fumbled even getting in to the skates and watched as he walked out, easily and effortlessly, on his skates.  Pure class.  

Happy Birthday Pat!
