Many, many nights were spent jamming out with "Crispie" and The Regime at Ryan's Corner in the 80's. Although I have not seen Chis and the boys in years, they live forever in my heart, as young and wild rockers. Later, Late

A true blue-collar Rock and Roller (despite the early perms). A fine man with a sometimes gruff exterior, but would bend over backwards to help a friend. Playing softball against Team Regime was always a blast....Good people....real people.....Blessings to friends and family.....Later, Late.....

W the Regime in 86
