Remaining the 5 of us growing up together on Houston levee road in collierville tn.you,chess, jewel,lilly and me.as a happy family, we shared what we had. I went into Airforce,,Lillie married, jewel went to college, you and chess stayed home with family.i went to Vietnam, returned home and you decided to go into Airforce.we spent 6 months together in this land.i managed the nco club and you visited club . The important part is that your squadron was living in tents,sleeping on the ground and I was in an air conditioned barracks with 2 beds. I had you to move from the ground into my room, which had 2 beds. We shared everything like we did at home. And when he got married in 1972 and choose me as his best man. I said this to say we were best friends. I am truly sadden to see him depart so soon. There were 5 of us me being the oldest and him being the youngest. I am truly going to miss him.
