I knew Orel from way back in elementary school at Washington School. Washington was kind of a scrappy school with a fair amount of playground conflicts. Orel and I got into a fight once (what was I thinking?). It was in 4th grade as I recall and, of course, Orel kicked my butt. I hope some of Orel's close friends will post more about his life after Sequoia and what led to his death. I remember Orel having a pretty good sense of humor as a young kid at Washington School. Rest in peace Orel.
