Net 54 Leads to a Reunion between 2 childhood friends

Richard,
That is awesome. I would love to talk to some of my old collecting friends from my youth.
Another interesting story is that I was trying to work a trade with Greg Ecklund for a 1923-24 Exhibit. He sends me his address and it is a mile north of me. While doing the trade in person, we discover that Greg went to high school with Board member Steve Murray's son. Steve and I are doing a deal this week. Who would have thought that 3 Board members would be in the same town?

Good things happen when people use their real names and don't hide behind some nom de board.

Simon/Pomilla, two companeros from Da Bronx ... Johnny and the pony 1.2.3.
Great story, great memories.

Richard, I'm not from Da Bronx, I'm from the upper east side of Manhattan - El Barrio, and went to Seward Park H.S. in the lower east side.
While there during the late 1940's, I got my hot knishes from the street cart vendors on Grand St and DeLancey (I'm salivating as I write this.)
Some of Da Bronx schools that I played football against at Randalls Island were Clinton, Monroe and Columbus.

Thanks for the memories.

PS. Richard, during the 1980's, at several shows, I've picked up a few auto's from you. Thank you.

Another New Yawkah checking in. This photo was taken at a ballgame in the Bronx in 1958. That's me on the right with some of my homies from Spanish Harlem, Dino, Pony Boy and Joey P. Wonder what became of them.

I went to Monroe. Ed Kranepool was a year ahead of me when I was there. We had terrific baseball teams and I went to many games. One year we made the city finals against Curtis HS but we lost 5-4 .
