My childhood friend

Bob and I grew up two houses away from each other in a small Ct town. We went to school together, played baseball, and double dated in high school. Bob’s nickname was Spider but I’m not sure why. He was a happy go lucky kid who loved Stan Musial and was engaged to a girl who lived down the street from us.
He was in Vietnam less than two months when he was killed on May 5, 1968 -the day before I left to go over.
I’ll never forget that call home and learning he was gone. I cried but tried to be brave.
He’s been in my thoughts nearly every day for over 54 years.
