THE WALL OF FACES

Bobby grew up across the street from me. We were the same age and were best friends throughout grade school (Washington) and good friends during high school (Danville HS).

I remember the day in the "Nook" restaurant downtown Danville when Bobby told me he was going to sign up for the military. Looking back on it I realize that was the last time I ever say my friend Bobby.

Damn, we had some good times in grade school. Bye Bobby....RIP
