Every picture tells a story! Good old Rod Stewart! But pictures alone can't reveal the true extent of our friendship, me and my brothers, with our bestest friends from California! Lenny Deb Erin and James! Me, Dicky and Lenny go back almost 30 years, or about 27, give or take a coupla months from our younger days in good old Utica. I geuss we all sorta met at the Parkway Peak, kinda with the imfamous Eichler gang, way back when, and I remember the day Lenny drove up the cem and said "Cali-for-nee was the place he'd like to be"...and it was a while til we saw him again one snowy Utica Thanksgiving. And some fateful trip to Utica in '93 got the real ball rolling as Lenny invited me out while Pete Townshend was touring the west coast. Now that visit brought Deb eastward and Dickie met her ,tho not me, cause I had that wondrous opportunity later that summer in San Dimas?!? (I think?!) Well it became a yearly journey, one that has continued 9 years. The family has grown and GROWN, and we feel a part of it. A splendid time is guarranteed for all. The fun and frolic and eating and ice creaming can't be beat and it is always the Fourth of July! So what more can I say but thank-you to our bestest friends and Happy holidays!
