Comments
I got to know Chris right away freshman year. He roomed with John Worcester just two doors down the hall from me on 2nd Davis. Chris was quiet, with a dry sense of humor. Being a "townie", he shared useful information with us. He was a good all-around athlete and a key member of our floor's basketball and touch football teams.
