Bill and I became friends in 9th grade at Audubon high school. I was very fortunate to have such a special best friend for 60+ years! For the past few decades we’d have dinner together every month or so and shared what was happening with each other.
Music was a big part of our lives in the 60’s! I think Bill though was the only person I ever knew who cleaned his precious records every year. He would take them out of their jackets, place them in a tub of warm soapy water, and wash them. Go figure! I also remember that Bill would take a shower and wash his hair right before going to the beach to swim in the ocean. We all thought that was weird, but not Bill.
I loved my best friend Bill and remember all the good times we had together!
