McCombs Dam Park track was like running in quicksand. Good thing we were used to such footing on Nostrand Ave.!

That was a classic lineup of misfits in the first row of Reedy's class. He should be a saint for putting up with us.

Great pix, Mr Swords!

As I mentioned a few weeks ago when Jose passed, I have a couple of original Jose Vargas “glossies”, two of these I believe went in the yearbook, the one of Mr. Reedy’s class and the one of Rod Murray and Peter Byrne. Mr Reedy had to arrange the desks in that circular fashion because Murphy was constantly shooting spitballs with his Bic pen at Grossberger. Murphy is obviously looking humbled in the photo. The one of Ernie Boykin taking the baton handoff from me is at the now defunct McComb’s Dam Park next to Yankee Stadium. The only worse track surface was at Prep.

The one of Grossberger and me is at Van Cortlandt Park… I had just cut one and it blew Kenny onto his ass. The shot of Rod and Peter is at Prospect Park.
