Tony! What a great person I miss all the fun we had in High School and all the trouble (fun) we got into years after. Tony was a Vietnam Vet wounded and sent home after tripping a claymore mine on patrol. I remember when he came home and he went to cash his VA check he split the money with me and we went out and partyed hard! One time we went to a Soldiers of Fortune convention traveling by train I was using his buddies Conrail pass to get free transportation. We did a parachute jump togeather out of some old aircraft. Tony made the cover of the Soldier of Fortune magazine. One time Tony called me up from a bar saying he had to do some scan at the hospital because of the Clamore pellets were still inside him near his spine. The doctor said to drink plenty of liquids and come back in two hours or so. So we both drank plenty of liquids and went back to the hospital. In the waiting room Tony said he had to take a pee and if they come and ask for him I was to take his place. So they called Toney he was not there and I took his place. I took off all my clothes and put on the gown and laied down on the scanning machine. They started the machine and then I told them I was Ron Brown not Tony and he told me to take his place! Well the nurses thought that was great and escoreted me out to the waiting room in my gown. Later we were invited by the nurses to go to the local bar that evening. I got a whole bunch of stories I could fill this page.
