Ronnie and I were good friends and we played a lot of basketball at the Boys Club on Livingston Ave. I think of him often for he was a kind person. I last saw him and Roger Maybin at our 50th class reunion. I was able to go down memory lane with them, telling Ronnie about that wonderful left-hand jump shot. I saw a lot of that as a member of the bench on the varsity team at AHS. His memory will be with me always.
