Tony, I am sure you don't remember me, but as a little girl I lived behind you in Newmarket with my parents, Bob and Brita Batts. You and Barry were teenagers when we moved to Forest Park, but I still have a picture somewhere of you, Barry, and me. You were like big older brothers...one of my few memories of the place since I was only close to 5 when we moved. Please accept condolences from my mother (still living in Yorktown) and from me for the loss of your brother and your friend.
