Ran across photo of boys, I believe were at John's birthday party..about age 6...photo included young Jim Arnest, me, John Arnest, Fred Williams, Mike Robinson, and Paul Mowry...This was taken when Pfeifferre's woods existed before made into Vermont Park...remember walking to Broadway elementary school with John and others when Moniteau st. was brick like 16th st.... never will I forget my first best friend.

I remember his home on Moniteau and 13th. long before his family move to wonderful home on Broadway,,,,I remember his uncle Sherman, who I believed was employed by post office who rocked in his chair...we sat together in 1st several grades at Broadway school and me, Bill Brown, and I believe Tony Monsees would chose numbers between one and ten, while John had a number in mind and the 2 closest numbers would sit next to him at lunch...he was that popular, even then...he and I took swimming lessons together at liberty park pool...I remember square dancing ..his partner was Marcia Edding..about the 3rd grade....After moving across town, we no longer were in same school or classes at high school except for band one year...I was invited and went to his first wedding....Think about him every now and then...Hope memories of him will bring the joy of knowing him.
