I appreciated your story and would like to add one of my own. one night, a boys night out, the AIE fraternity was involved in shenanigans and we somehow ended up in a cemetary by the aerators (the mt. kisco dam).
there were several carloads of us hooligans and the only individuals i can remember were there for sure were al oliveira , emilio (pancho) bruna, don saldico, lee parise and myself. the game started out by having someone starting out hiding in a freshly dug grave and the rest of us luring the unsuspecting victim near the grave to peek in and you can guess the rest. such fun! i can't think of why we still don't do this! we would ride from grave to grave and while doing this for 3 or 4 times while following one another in our cars, someone stopped short and lo and behold lee slipped off my car and banged his head and was bleeding badly. we took him to the er at white plains hospital where they stitched him up. i remember that we were afraid to call his mother because it was just after his father had died.
that's the story and if anyone has more details, or a better memory, fell free to add to lee's legend!
