I remember one time we were playing charades. We used sit on your steps.You did the song Traviling man by Rickey Nelson by making two suitcases. I was thrilled to death when the older guys let me play football with them. You are the only guy I knew that hit the ball over the Marion Manor playing bar ball

Lala, I am so sorry that you and Erin have lost Bobby. When I was growing up, he was one of the older guys in the neighborhood. He was always nice to us little kids, as were the rest of the older crowd.
