Bill “Viggo” Madsen

Gary was one of my best friends at EHS and have some very good memories of him. 

Even though the first day we met we got into fist fight over some very trivial thing. We became the best of friends. He convinced me to try football and wrestling.  

I lost contact with Gary when he went Vietnam.  I heard that he was killed there.

 Then all of a sudden he appeared on classmates. We kept in contact and we finally got together in California and got caught up.

His first comments to me when he saw me walk off the elevator was “Damn Madsen you got big.” He was still his skinny self from when I knew him at EHS.   I on the other hand had gained 100 pounds by then,

Unfortunately, after our visit Gary had a heart attack and passed awayr.

But I was glad I got spend a few hours with him remembering our exploits

Bill, always so nice to read memories! Like so many others, I thought he was killed in Vietnam. Nice to know the “real story” and that you were able to get together.
