His name was Keith Berry, and his full name was Keith Wayne Berry. He lived in Lawton, Oklahoma, until seventh grade, when he and his family moved to the Dallas area. \u00a0I haven&#8217;t had any luck finding him via web searches.<\/p>\n<p>I felt like we were pretty good friends, and I&#8217;d like to locate him.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few\u00a0Keith stories.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keith loved John Denver, and even cut his hair like Denver&#8217;s.<\/li>\n<li>Keith played the trumpet.<\/li>\n<li>Keith and I formed a club, which he named &#8220;Filler Paper,&#8221; since we would immediately have free, custom stationary.<\/li>\n<li>Keith and I played war using tennis rackets, which we turned handle-forward\u00a0to look like rifles.<\/li>\n<li>Keith and I made a number of audio tapes, including <em>Keith Berry&#8217;s Top of the Roof Show<\/em>, <em>Scenic America<\/em>, and <em>Variety Pack<\/em>. I still have that audio, in MP3 form.<\/li>\n<li>Keith and I played a lot of chess.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I am putting this out into the ether in the hopes that\u00a0Keith does a vanity search and gets in touch with me. I would love to hear what he&#8217;s been doing since 1977.
