Terry Allan's Latest Interactions
Thanks for the kind words, guys. I knew Terry only in passing as a stand-out distance runner and tennis player. And, discovered he was the Captain of the Cross Country team, only by running a ctl F search in the '65 Greystones. I was surprised the search worked but, knowing Teddy's penchant for detail, grateful. Thanks.
Additionally, under the heading of absolute minutia, discovered, to my surprise, Terry's address was quite a bit east of friends with which I walked to Haverford many mornings. I had many experiences playing and walking to Cobbs Creek. Terry's address used a "Philadelphia 51", in Greystones that I had not recalled and nearly exploded Google maps. What I imagined was that Terry would have had to be within Brookline Elementary's enrollment boundary but, not sure and don't remember (which means nothing) him from Brookline. There is a PennWayne Elementary school close to Terry's address and he is quite closer to Lower Merion SD, than Haverford. Sorry for this digression and forgive the note but, the recollections of Terry as well as Haverford are always an interesting chapter and study. Very best, Don
As Bob Evans reminded me, Terry was a Haverford Township "sanitation engineer" along with us in the summer of 1966, picking up the trash throughout the streets of Haverford Township. Terry was always great company with a warm-hearted sense of humor and a fun loving spirit. He was also unbeatable on the tennis court and in ping pong. I can also remember playing touch football behind the high school in a game in which Rob Kulgman and I lost to Terry and Larry Fair. Although we hadn't been in touch since high school, it was heartening to read about all the students and athletes he inspired in the classroom and on the tennis courts.

Agree with Hugh Johnson: Terry was a very good, friendly guy. Know he was good at tennis, and believe he was a geeat teacher. Sorry for his family.
Terry was in band and orchestra and played bassoon. I got to know him best in senior English class. Kind of ironic he became an English teacher. I have three younger cousins who went to H.S. in Frederick. I'll have to ask if they had him. Sorry to see this, he was a good guy.
