Dennis Monson was a respected classmate of mine at Brigham Young High School in Provo, Utah, Class of 1966.  He had a great sense of humor, and was talented in speaking and sports.  He played football, and in chorus, and participated with me in Debate.  He served as our KOVO News Reporter and KSL Correspondant.  In Utah state speech tournaments, he received a Superior rating in Radio Speech, an Excellent in Oratory,  and a Superior in Dramatic Reading.   He had a "radio voice" which he cultivated by reading the daily newspaper aloud at home almost every evening.  He was an enthusiastic member of the Thespians, and worked with me on the Brigadier student newspaper.  He was an LDS Seminary Graduate.  He entered the  USAF and was trained in the Military Police School.  He attended Brigham Young University where he was a Radio & TV Major,  class of 1971.  He was a Technician, Announcer, Reporter, Editor, and Producer.  I lived in Georgia and Dennis lived in Oregon, and we lost touch with each other, but he was a good friend.
