The Stalingrad Madonna
Just a stroll in the park on an early Spring day. This was in 1972, or possibly '73. In between those 2 guesses we hitchhiked cross-country - cross Canada, actually, from Ontario to Vancouver, BC, then down the west coast to Berkeley, CA. Somehow, we got separated in Sacramento, so, I went to see my girlfriend who was up in Washington state for the summer. Then the two of us hitched home. All on about 200 bucks. It was the best of times ...

A very pleasant evening was had by all. All the males grew up together in the same neighborhood. Many fun times, unbelievable adventures, lots of baseball, music and substances. This was the last time this particular group was all together. Looking back from 70 [the age] to '70 [the year] - and lots more in the 50's & 60's - brings a flood of good times & good people. We were so lucky to have so many friends landing in the same area. In many ways, the best days of my life.
Me & some of the boys from the secure care unit of a NYS psychiatric hospital. My last day at that nut house. On to a bigger one ... the next day I started my career at the US Postal Service. 😊 This was in 1987.
A legend passed away yesterday at 94. The voice of the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers for a lifetime.
