Kent we were neighbors on Melrose St. as kids and I used to beat you up all the time and you would go and get your Dad and he would give me the speech!! Then a few days later we would go into your garage and you would take some coins out of his safe and we would head to the corner store on Girard and Florida (Houghtons) and spend all the money. I am sure they were part of a coin collection that is probably how old man Houghton made enough money to build the Shell station on the corner for his son. I think you may be the reason for my ulcer at 12 years old. I had a paper route and went on vacation with my parents and you were my substitute and I worried so much that you would not do a good job and miss some of my customers I got an ulcer over it. At any rate you left this world way to early and I did have some great times with you and your brother Kevin. Peace be with you, Mike Hardy
