Keep Smiling

I graduated with Ricky in 1963. My last rembrance of Ricky is playing poker at his house in the summer of 63. He was another one of the good guys and I still ache at his lost. I can still picture his beautiful smile. I still have not forgiven the politicans who put us there and wasted all those lives on both sides for their personal gain. I look forward to Ricky's presence on the other side.

Still Your Buddy
