I ran across Mr. Buquoi a few years ago in West Hills, where he lived and where I still live.  I was riding the Vanowen bus going west on my way home from dropping my car off for service.  At about Fallbrook or so, an elderly gentleman got on and sat down two or three rows in front of me.  I was sure I knew him, and shortly I realized it was Mr. Buquoi.  (I had him for trigonometry in my senior year at Taft.)  I kept wondering, should I say something?  Would he remember me?  Well, I sat there like a bump on a log and didn't say a word.  Just a few blocks later, he got off.  We all do foolish things and that was certainly one for me.  I'm sorry to hear that Mr. Buquoi is no longer with us.  He was a wonderful guy and we were lucky to have known him.
