Gerald Cahela was one of my dearest friends, the only "big brother" I ever had. He was a fine young man with a lot of promise whose life was tragically cut short in VietNam. To this day I feel the loss of my "brother" and dear friend. I will, however, forever cherish my memories and my friendship with him. In Loving Memory, Carol Walters Carmichael

Gerald was a handsome (honestly good looking), intelligent (smart), talented (in the band), young man whose life was sacrificed too soon. Thank goodness it wasn't because we blew up the Chemistry lab (my lab partner) at BHS. Save me a dance when I get to heaven (my escort to the "A" Club Leadout. Love and fond memories, Janice Flurry Roberson
