Henry Corzine

I met Henry at UNM. I hung out with Davis who was in my Chem class our first semester. I remember going with DAvis , Henry and a few other Roswell students at  Halloween and we all went to a party at a community center at an apartment complex. I remember that Henry took us in his car and afterward when we were on our way back to campus, was the first time I ever experienced vertigo. Of course it had nothing to do with the rum and coke we had been drinking.

The night Henry died, I was on the phone long distance talking to a friend of mine at the Air Force Academy. There was a loud crackle in the phone that made me jump. The next day I learned about Henry's passing. I remember Marry Husemuller and I went to the services at the funeral home and sat together. The service was beautiful but it was there that I decided not to have a funeral when I die.Every one was saying all these nice things about Henry but they skipped over the parts that made him the fantastic caring, loveable, and wonderful human being he was.  

I only became slightly acquainted with Henry during my senior year at Goddard, even though we lived maybe a half mile from each other.  He seemed mature for his age, and worked at a 7/11.  I went to NMSU and he UNM. I came home to Roswell from Las Cruces at the same time that he came home from UNM.  Apparently he was bringing his stuff in from his car at his folks home at the same time that I was doing the same thing over at my folks place on Pontiac Dr.  He happened to be the one who got struck my lightening.  I wish I had known him better.  Even though I didn't know him well, I went to his funeral service because it might have been mine.
