I rememeber Hank as such a funny, energetic, talented guy.

I never would have survived Judy Smith's advanced chemistry class (remember the round slide rulers, how quaint it seems now - and that Mark Robbins put his head down and slept EVERY day!) without his being my lab partner. I could cook the chemistry just fine but Hank was great at the abstract molecular stuff that was beyond me. He was never the same after the accident the killed Robert Carrignan and the memory haunted him. I know he made it through med school, but have always wondered how his life turned out. Sad he is gone.

Hank became a very successful psychiatrist and had a family practice in Long Beach, California. He had planned to attend our twentieth MAC reunion, but could not attend due to illness. That illness became very serious and he passed away on October 16th, 1994. Hank was a close friend when we were in high school and college. He used to visit me in San Marcos, when I was at South West Texas State and  he was studying at SMU.  Hank loved "The freedom of his California life" in the 1970s and 1980's and had many supportive friends and interesting colleagues. The Bandera tragedy haunted him and he needed to leave Texas for good. He always referred to October 31, 1974 as "The Day Of The Accident". However, California was good for Hank. Orrin Henry Lindberg made a spectacular, successful new life for himself out west. He is buried at Forest Hill Cemetery in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, the state of his birth.

How can we ever forget those special friends we made in our youth? Those were some powerful friendships....Nobody else came close. 💜
