Updated Jan 2015 - Well, sitting here thinking I've got to sign up for Medicare this year and I'm sure many are in the same boat. Who would have thought any of us would be sitting around thinking of old age! I'm also sitting here in my apartment outside of Buffalo, NY watching ......yes.....more snow, blustery cold winds, and hoping to see the sun one of these days. Hope you're all well and I recall many of the great names on here who stopped by and left signatures or visited. I lived on Bosworth Lane and grew up with Jim Dougherty, Marion Jehens, Ron Doyle, Bob McCullough, and Dave Peterson (who unfortunately died a few years back), all close neighbors. I had a phone call with "Doc" months back for the second time and we'd played some catch up on days gone by. "Doc" was the first of the gang to have a car; 1957 Chevy and if he had it today, it would be worth thousands! Tells me no one has seen/heard hide nor hair from Ron Doyle. Marion is or was in California last we heard. Many a fond memory of those glory summer days we had at Joe Randall's house in the field across the street! Over on Baldwin you know....the only "non-Levitt" house in all the area. Joe is best remembered for stealing his dad's Playboys and bringing them out to the shed for all of us to enjoy! He used to get real pissed when someone tried to remove the centerfolds. I haven't seen Joe in many years but did manage to catch him probably 10 plus years back at the hobby store he was running in Willingboro. I understand it's long gone now. I know Joe had worked for the phone company for many years prior. Many years back, Joe came over to my sister's house when I visited home and my old buddy, Dave Earle, came with him. Dave of course served the Willingboro Police for years and more recently, I was sorry to hear about the death of his wife. Needless to say, Joe, Dave and myself had more laughs about the old days than ever! My high school sweetheart was Sue Worrilow, (now Susan Ward) and while in NJ visiting my sisters 2 or 3 years, Sue and I had the opportunity to meet again in the Cherry Hill area for coffee after the decades. I could have picked her out of a crowd in a heartbeat; didn't age a day, unlike me. Sure was good to see her again, and sure did bring back some memories! I took Sue to the movies at Cherry Hill Mall one night in my new '59 black Chevy which I only owned about 2 weeks if that. We came out.......the car was gonzoed......and never saw it again! I finally retired in 2003 as an FBI Agent (my childhood ambition), having served 16 years in NYC on a Terrorism Task Force until 1990, a year before 9/11. I lost an old FBI friend, John O'Neil, in that murderous attack. That year, I was transferred to Buffalo, NY and spent another 13 years working cases and acting as Coordinator of a Gang/Violent Crime Task ...Expand for more
