Officer Down Memorial Page

My Best Friend,

I was going through an old box and I found a photo we had taken on the Boardwalk. It was 50 years ago. Although we were the best of friends after high school we only spoke and saw each other a few times. I went to New York, got married, had 3 kids and on and on. There just never seemed enouth time to go to Atlantic City. I'm sorry that we didn't find the time to communicate in our adulthood. When I heard about the accident I called Donna and your Mom to say how sorry I was for their loss. I am so sorry we didn't keep in touch. We did have a great friendship and I will always cherish that friendship.
From the Hairdresser to a police officer wow. Remember when you "borrowed your brothers canoe because you wanted to smell good for Donna. Remember when you "borrowed your brother's Heavenly Album and loaned it to me for the weekend. It worked. We fell in love and have been happily married for 48 years. Remember Wildwood, Cape May, the Speak Easy and the Fiat. We were all of 16-18 and they were great times. I never had another friend lke you again.

Danielle if you would like the photo please contact me. You're mom will remember me.
