I shall never forget Selby as being a fine straight forward kind of guy.
As I examined the paper, I was somewhat shocked to find Selby's picture and info concerning his death. I noted that Selby spent most of his life in the Kansas City area. Had I known that, I living in Independence Missouri since 1954, would have contacted him more frequently.
Selby, a sophomore at Butler High School and I, a senior were in my opinion Best Friends. We on many occasions borrowed his parent's new Pontiac hardtop and purposefully exercised "look outs", which was looking for girls as a past time. That worked out well, because he was more bold and outgoing when I was on the shy side which assisted our dating activities. I recall Selby's favorite expression "Hey, that's the way Boot Hill started!" when someone would walk precariously in front of our car.
To my credit, I've met persons of all qualities, professions and characters including medical doctors, astronauts and movie stars like Paul Newman. In my mind, Selby was an equal and of the same stature
and one of the finest persons on the planet. My God bless his family!
