Thanks a bunch,

Happy Birthday, Buddy! Can you believe we are 79 years old? A long way since we were processed into the army in 1961 in Milwaukee.

Hope you are having a fantastic day!

So sorry to hear about Thom.  Is there an obituary?  My memory of Thom is that at 16 or 17 he was already a true eccentric.  High praise in my book.

Chuck,

Thanks so much for this.  Neighborhood history that I had no idea of.  Amazing that your father lived in that house for 92 years.

It would be great to see you at the 80th birthday party, if it happens.

Best
Cecil

Roberta Weber and I exchanged some meories of skip about a year ago on this site.  I won't repeat all that I shared with Roberta, but Skip was a great and influential friend.  He and Roberta were the only members of our kindergarten class who could read and were often called upon to do so.

Skip's family home was an eccentric cottage on the west side of 7th Avenue just two doors south of the cemetary.  It had a huge back yard, the western bouderies of which were more like a country field than a small town back yard, at least im my memory.  We even dug a "foxhole" back there.  A group of us from Southport hung out there on a regular basis; Skip, Peter Kaiser, Mark Schmerling, Chuck Limpert...Sadly, Chuck and I may be the only ones still alive from that little group.  We would sit in that "foxhole" and talk for hours about whatever adolescent boys talked about, probably adolescent girls.

I was the only one who lived west of 7th avenue, sort of the equivelent of the "the other side of the tracks" in those days.  We lived on 73rd Street west of 8th Avenue.  Tom and Terry Fugette lived on 8th Avenue just north of 75th Street and Tony DiCello lived on 74th Street jsut west of 8th.

Skip was an extremely bright and interesting man.  His death is a huge loss.
