Third through 6 th grade we were friends and all through high school. Terry was with me when I got arrested at Central High School for fighting. We were double dating and I was on my 1st date with my future wife. Terry pulled the guys friend off my back and deposited him on the basketball court. Terry had to take my date home while I took a ride with the nice police officer. He saved me from a butt kicking. Love that boy. Miss him too. We always had a fun time no matter what we were doing.
