Hi Ros-Nice to see you here! I just singned up two months ago-of course welcomed by Simon Gribben LOL

I am in the Dominican Republic Partime-http://www.charlesdeckerfoundation.org

Charlie sat next to me in home room at AHS (Allentown High School--none of us went to Wm Allen as it didn't exist) and would regale me with his weekend tales of the upper class--he drove a Cadillac convertible. I called him "The Lone Ranger" as he always had a new impossible adventure to share every Monday morning! He dressed preppy but had a passion for the banjo and I went to one of his gigs in downtown Allentown. We both ended up living in the West Village in NYC and I remember running into his wife strolling their daughter in front of my digs on West 10th Street. We married women who could have been twins. Charlie was in advertising and is proud of convincing the NFL to use one of his products, Gator-Aide, on NFL sidelines; whereas, I created "The Football Follies" for NFL Films. We drifted apart, but I am thrilled that "The Lone Ranger" has used his heart to help the needy.
