We were best friends from 1st grade through Jr High...Me, Jeff Harrison and David. Our parents called us the "the 3 musketeers". We would ride our bikes to Carrie Stern Elementary every morning meeting at my house. So many fun times growing up with Buzz. A lasting memory for me was that I was at David's house in his small den with his mother, Francis, and watched live when Ruby shot Oswald.
When we were probably 10 yrs old, we decided we wanted a Go Kart but how could we pay for it. David said that when his family went on vacation, his dad would tip the waiter. So David would grab the tips when his dad wasn't watching and Voila! we were going to buy the Go Kart. However, the "best laid plans of mice and men" didn't work out. My last memory of David was at the last reunion he came to when he and I sang karioki (in great harmony as I recall) "Fools rush in" by Elvis in downtown Greenville. Great memories with my good friend, David. I'll miss you.

Peace brother,

Same here brother Sam! Spent many an hour having a large time with "Buzz". Can't remember how he got that name though?
