Subject: Lords of Lawndale Lords of Lawndale

   Dear Gaylords, I have just finished reading "Lords of Lawndale " I would like to thank Michael Scott for writing a terrific book. I'm sorry about all the members that have fallen (on both sides).

  I grew up in Chicago I'm a first generation American my family and I moved to Chicago from Paterson ,NJ in 1974 I was but 11 years old.In Paterson I was harassed by blacks calling me honkey, whitey ect.In Chicago I was harassed by the Royals calling me spic. I always thought I was white until I moved to Chicago.Well anyway I left Chicago in 1980 to join one of the toughest gangs around the US Marines.When I came back to Chicago in 1994 I noticed less gang graffiti and I've wondered why.The book (Lords of Lawndale) answered many questions I've had concerning street gangs. Well once again I like to thank you for the book and glad that you've made it out. I sincerely hope things work out well for all you Gaylords and that I hear good things about you in the future. Sincerely, your friend Ramiro
