there very long, I was named most friendly.
As a junior in Cincinnati, Norris Asbury was my best friend. His brother was the starting running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Had a crush on Sue Wavra but she had a boyfriend so I thought I had no chance. When I told her I was returning to Illinois, she burst into tears. First time a girl ever cried over me.
After my jumior year in Cincinnati, thanks to Norris and Sue, I felt good about myself and had more confidence than ever. During my senior year, I was closest to Odie, Jack, Jim Tiburzi, Joe Mitchell, Phil Callovini and Tom and Gary Goldasich. Morning walks to school were fun.
Hung around with a lot of people from other towns. Great memory of a girl from Rialto, CA in the summer of 66. She was very pretty and for some reason paid attention to me.
