********************************************
Tommy and I delivered AJC papers out of West End Atlanta. We both went to Brown High School, and lived on the same block. Tommy loved to play pool, he was much better at it than I. We bowled late at night till sunrise on weekends. I went into the Marines and Vietnam, and after I came home Tommy married Lynn (I was best man) and later divorced. I moved away and got married, Tommy and I drifted away for many years, I lost contact with him. I always thought of him and the times we had together, but never forgot him.
