Mickey, always the fastest guy on the field whether it be at Immaculate or Riverfront. Friends first grade thru high school, we had our first Holy Communion together, walked with Joe Olsovsky to the 9th grade "Hall", fished (before opening day :) at Jordan Park, camped & got stuck in the mud in your folks Plymouth. Thanks for being my friend. God truly blessed us.
