Happy Birthday Mr. Six Pie star! Simple Simon met a Pie Man, and the name "The 6 Pie's" was born. Can't recall who suggested that, Ken Wenniger?

Fred was a Cathedral guy.  Very smart, enjoyed going to grade school and of course Central with him.  In first grade, he drew a very nice coloring, and I could only do like a stick man. I was impressed with his artistic ability. One of my early memories of Fred. Good guy. sad to hear of his passing.  Pie Man

Jimmy...Happy Birthday. After watching the famous Morgus perform surgery, Jimmy was able to show a skeletal chart in class to show how the mad scientist could put an accident victim back together. Had all the nuns tune into the Sat. evening show, but somehow on Monday, Sr. Eugene was no longer interested in hearing about Morgus anymore...strange!

I got together with Tom several times over the years, but not lately, did not know he was ill.  Sad to lose another friend and classmate.
