Spent many years of my youth with John (Shaughn) in Princeton. Great memories. He was always the handsome and preppy kid who went to St. Johns that everyone liked. Had holes in every sweater he owned and that look worked very well on him. Had a neat motor bike, too. Used to honk every night while passing my house on his way home. Great tennis player. I won most of the time, tho. Just found out he was an excellent golfer as well and that he wanted to get a foursome together to include me and some other old Princeton pals. Really wish we had done that.Thanks for some great childhood memories, John. I'm very sorry I was too busy with less important stuff to contact you through all these years. I'll spend some time on the phone tonight making some calls. There are some old friends I want to speak to.....
God Bless you, John.
