May God bless John's soul - he introduced me to a lot of great music and drove me to a good spot to hitchhike my way to Jamaica in the fall of 1969 (though I never made it further south than Key West ...) He visited me at the tropical backyard hippie "tent settement" I was staying at in Coconut Grove not long before I joined the Hare Krishnas. Did I mention that he was the one who alerted me to buy tickets to the original Woodstock festival two months in advance? We traveled there with another friend and got there a day early - though we all soon separated and went on our own trips ...

Happy Birthday, Herbert!
Are you still a boxing fan? Whenever there's a heavyweight championship fight (like Wilder vs Fury) I recall our bet on the Cassius Clay - Sonny Liston fight that you thought was a such a sure thing in favor of Liston that you gave me like 20 to 1 odds. (I forget how much we bet - $1.00?, $10.00? or even which Jr. High we were at - Duggan or Kiley?) Anyway, Allah was evidently on Clay's side as he emerged that night as the great Muhammed Ali - and I vaguely recall settling for a much smaller amount after he shockingly stopped the "Big Ugly Bear" ... Anyway, best wishes (and good luck making any sports bets ...)
Happy (belated) birthday, Carolyn - even though idiot Trump is President and the GOP (Grand Old Pedophiles) are in control of Congress ...

I'll always remember David as a kind humorous person who tried to help me limit my losses in those "high stakes" poker games - including some wild all-nighter ones at UMass. May God bless his soul and family members ...
I also knew Jeff since Harris elementary, and I vaguely recall going to his home along with Sandy, Eric Thal (and some of my other Jewish friends) for an impromptu snack party and being very kindly received by Jeff's mother. Despite my Gentile status, I was also invited to go to the Jewish Community Center with Jeff, Sandy, et al to play hoops . God works in mysterious ways, but I'm sure that he's in a better place...
Happy Birthday and best wishes to you and your family ...
Hope you're having a happy birthday, young fella - you still root for the Pats or did you become a Bucs/Dolphins/Jaguars fan?
