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.
