I worked with Ron Patel in the Log office for 2 years. I was the feature editor. He was the main editor. We worked on the Log and the Navigator yearbook. Ron was a great guy, very brilliant writer and organizer. He was very funny, if you got him going. He went on to have a great future in the journalism. Field. He became the first Asian American (Indian) to become an editor of a major newspaper. He lived in Philadephia. He was well known for helping young journalists with their careers. He had a wife and 2 children. He died of liver cancer around 2000. Rest in Peace Ron, I have so many memories of the Log office, and I can still hear you singing "The way you do the Things You Do".

I had no idea that Ron had died. And of Liver Cancer. My father died of the same thing at age 53.
Ron was such a very smart fellow and I enjoyed him very much as a classmate. Actually I was looking forward to perhaps seeing him at our reunion. I don't have a specific memory of him, but I do remember him as a dear and fun loving fella....usually with a straight face, but a big twinkle in his eye. He always added a rich dimension to class. I think we were in Mr.Lux's Advanced Reading/English class together. My heart goes out to his wife and family.
