Harry,
For the life of me I swear I had written you a tribute a while back.Must be that Mr. Nix must be jealous or something. So here we go again. Sorry Harry but I see this one being shorter. Getting lazy in my old age. Plus I have been editing my book for the last week and that was a lot of typing. Sorry, this is about you isn't it?
It was Ewing Park school on Somerset Street or was that Buttonwood Street? I lived on the corner where they met so I lived on both. I forget where you lived Harry. We met on the first day of school and later in the playground where we played Space Ranger with that tall kidd with the black hair.What was his name...Waldron or something. Don't know about you but I thought he was a pain in the ass. Always telling us what to do and always being the captain of our Space Ship. Where did he get off? You and I hit him with sticks one day when he pissed us off. He went crying to the teacher. She came over to us and accused us of beating him with sticks. The nerve. We lied like crazy and told her 5that he was a make believe monster on this planet and we told her that it was his idea like always. We were only following orders. She looked at him and gave him a HURRUMMPH and walked back to the teachers clutch.We promised each other to never lie again. Pinky swear. Just between us it was. As far as I know you never lied again. Proud of you Harry. I liked you a lot.Now that I see you are dead, I wish we had done more together. I wish I knew you better. I know nothing about your life. Did you marry? Did you have kids? Did you share your life and love with animals? Did anyone ever bring you flowers? I'm sure you earned them Harry. Me...I give you my affection and a big Hug to my old friend. Say hello to John Wayne for me please. Tell him he has a pal coming soon. So do you Harry. See ya.
