I taught mathematics at Little Rock Central High for six years and one of the students that I remember as a very fine young man was Dennis Heffington. I have no way of confirming if this is the same person as your loved one, but I thought you might find comfort in knowing that he was part of many good memories for me as a teacher. If my memory serves me, he would have graduated in about 1970. I hope your good memories will give you comfort during this difficult time.
Regards,
Donna Foss (Payne)
