Travis By Adam Miller

I have many memories of Travis. My first ones being as my brother, Jeff's, best friend growing up. As the younger brother I used to get picked on quite a bit by those two. But then later as his step-brother is when I really have the memory that will stick the longest. It's really just a simple little memory that probably most people would forget. For some reason this just stuck in my mind. Ok, so it was my junior year of high school during the great ice storm of '98 i believe. School got cancelled for the day so when i woke up and found that out I decided to go out to my dad and Liz's place. Well they were both at work and Travis and one of his navy buddies were there hanging out, well they were sleeping when i showed up. So i slept on the couch until later when they came down and woke me up. So we were watching TV and they had a special report on the ice storm. They were really blowing it way out of proportion and they were using so many differnt reporters to cover the story. And well you know the way Travis is, he picked up on them using so many different people and everytime a new reporter would come on he would start to make fun of them in the way he does. He was very animated in his making fun of them. I was losing it on the couch. I think that memory best shows his personality because he was very animated and easy going and just plain fun and that's the way i'll remember him.
