Dear Bruce, Richard, + David. Its been a lifetime since our lives were touched each others. Dont know what made me check out obituaries for Wakefield in the last year. Ive Never done that before. Im so sorry for your loss. I lost my Mother 3 yrs ago. I dont think Ive seen any of you in 40 years, but have often wondered where you all ended up. In case youare wondering who this is, lets just say that I babysat the boys since I was 12 + Bruce use to get me film for my new Polaroid camera (instamatic) which was in its beginning years back then. My parents were your landlords as you lived in the adjoining apartment of their duplex on Quannapowitt Ave. Would love to hear from either or all of you.In case you havent figured it out yet it's Peter Terravecchia. Hope all is well with all + do hope that whoever sees this post will be so kind to pass this message on to Bruce, + his sons. God Bless
