Goodbye my good friend
Our time goes back to 1965 when we were both teachers at Gray JR High School in Tacoma. You lived on Mc Arthur Street and you and Betts ,Helen and I often went from there for a night out.
Our conversations were often political and since our philosophies were much the same, never a cross word was spoken between us as we settled the world problems, often behind a cloud of pipe smoke.
From Tacoma , you went to Yuma and we met you there nearly every year...
