Kathy is really triggering some Philly memories, i.e., Neil Given falling into our motel room through the window, big burly Union guy telling me that I could not help the small woman who was trying to lift the Coke container - he said that was Union work - Len Steen told him I was just helping and to shut up - the Union guy obeyed Len, and then there was the Specials Class. Kathy and Barbara had Replica running #2, Gary was handling so they said to me, you double Onyx for Jerry and we did OK, went Select and Onyx looked great. Everything was over, Replica and Onyx were both Select; Kathy came over to give Onyx a hug and she clamly turned her back, as though she had no clue who Kathy was, Jedrry andf i were her people now. Jerry and I broke up but that was Onyx, always thinking and always ready to grab a snack. And yes, she forgave her Mom in record time too. Then later after Specials, the dinner and a dance; Gail Hardcastle, Bob Grady and I stayed up all night swapping stories, having a drink and just hanging with friends. Those seemed like simpler days filled with so much fun. Time to bring them back. Lew ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
