As Terry commented, even though it has been 45 years since we have gotten together, it seemed like it was just yesterday that we had all left high school. Our mannerisms and patterns of speech had not changed. We never lacked for conversation and there were no awkward moments. We talked about the past, the present and future - Leventhal, Harding, Dave V's liquor business, Dave P's pawnshop, Jeff's rent to buy, Cherrywood Lounge and Torrinos, Ed Schmidt and Lee Zolet, Terry's teaching at Aldephi and coaching, Don's buying memorabilia at yard sales and selling on Ebay starting at $9.99, our health and our pills, illegal aliens, the presidential election (Dave V took a poll on who we thought was going to win - not who we wanted to win- McCain 4 Obama 2), betting on football games, and on and on. Absent contact for 45 years, we were still great friends. As one of the boys wrote in my high school yearbook, "COMMODORES FOREVER."
