Not sure what to say?

We date back to 1968, we were housemates at South Street in SB, we were housemates at 'The Palace' - 711 Leland Road in S. B., we were in 'The Occasional Bluegrass Band' with Mike Powers and Eddie McNamara, I gave Queenie away at their wedding in 1969, I am Godfather to Ethan, born in 1971.

I introduced him to the work of the author P.G. Wodehouse, for which he was very grateful, I remember the Fr. Groppi gig in the summer of 1968,

Remember the days at 'The Palace' @ 711 Leland (Capistranda of Leland Palace'), remember the 'Occasional Bluegrass Band', remember my giving away Queenie @ your wedding, remember our singing 'Sweet Baby James' the night Ethan was born.

You are in my prayers, silly friend.
