What? Another shocker! 

"Farmer" and I lived on Orchard Street; just 5 houses apart. He lived next to the alley right off Commonwealth Ave. (a guess would be 101 S. Orchard St. - my home was 140 S. Orchard St; right next to the RR Tracks). Several of us kids in the neighborhood played football and baseball; either in the street or on 'our property,' where we had 1-1/2 lots (of yard) to play in. Gary was truly a "best" friend when we were kids growing up. Because of where we lived we either walked or rode our bikes to school; depending on whether we were attending Ford or Wilshire. [Believe we could take the school bus until the 4th or 5th grades; when we lived to close to school - less than 1 mile.]  Of the 80+ fellow students that we've lost over the years, to be honest, it doesn't make sense that at 75, I'm still alive; reading and writing about "y'all."

Gary, while you're resting and awaiting Christ Jesus "call" to wake (read John 5:25 - 29) in the resurrection, there are [many] great memories you left behind. At 29, you were way to young to have left us; your class mates from Ford, Wilshire, and FUHS.

I lived at 409 N Orchard Ave, 3 houses north of Chapman Ave. We had a cul-de-sac where we played baseball. There was a cluster of us living in that area.
