Its been a long time but "Joe Badoe" as we affectionately called him in high school---he was my best bud in those high school days. We did a lot of things in the old 38th Street neighborhood--in his 49 Ford and then in the 53 Ford. That tells you that was some time ago--all the guys of the 38th Street Gang--JOE--MOOSE --BENNY---BILLY--DAN--JIMMY--CHUCK- -Those were what "Happy Days'' were based on...Hope to see him on the BIG GOLF COURSE in the sky...
