Greg Klatkiewicz (GK) and Gary Bezucha (GB)
GK: I remember seeing you in the medical library, the smoking lounge, and I used to bum cigarettes from you all the time.
GB: Yeah, you smoked OP’S.
GK: That’s right. “Other people’s.” Yeah, they’re the best. [Laughs]
GB: And you introduced me to Janet.
GK: Yep, she was just a hoot. And I said, you know, I think Zooks would like this gal.
GB: We started dating immediately. I owe you one for introducing us.
GK: It was always you, and I, and Jan.
GB: The three amigos.
GK: We always did something wild and crazy.
[Laughs]
GK: Well you know, during that period of time on my first canoe trip. That was the beginning of many adventures for us. I used to like to serenade you from the stern of the canoe.
GB: Yes. And you’re the world’s worst singer. Actually you’re the second worst singer, Janet was the world’s worst singer. And then you were just slightly behind her.
[laughs]
GB: Yeah. You know, one of the things that sticks in my memory is, all the canoe trips that we did, you kept notes of every day. And I remember you coming down when Janet was sick and you brought one of those journals with you and you read it.
GK: Yep.
GB: You read to her about one of the trips that we took and I don’t know if she heard you, but I did.
GK: Yeah, I just thought it might be fun to relive that.
GB: I will never forget that.
GK: Well, I’ll never forget all the wonderful things you’ve done for me over the years either, so, we’re stuck with each other.
GB: I think in her memory, we should go out and do something really stupid.
GK: [LAUGHS]
GB: You’ve been a great friend. I don’t know that I’ve ever adequately said thank you. But… thank you.
GK: It’s a two way street.
