Walking up Mason Street hill was always an event but worth it. Dunn Park was a jewel for us kids in the 60's. Lenny and the guys would sometimes bust me up. Although I was about five years younger, I knew that they were kidding. If I needed their help, I knew that they would be there to help me. My thoughts and prayers to the family.
