WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW!
It's been a long time since I was at this website. Remember Robert well. I just read his obituary where he went by the first name Bob.... He was never Bob back in junior high school... He was Robert!
I'm like most of my other friends he did not live in either Deepdale or Beach Hills... Recall you live just north of of Northern Boulevard. Almost everyone else I knew at that time was Jewish. Robert obviously was not.
I loved his name. I thought it was cool.... I even thought he was cool!
I think of him more often than most anyone from those days - remembering when we used to duck out of school to get lunch down at that little deli "just this side" of Northern Boulevard.
He, Dave Hersh and I.... My family was pretty poor back in those days and I could only afford three of the sandwiches.... Balogna, cheese or Liverwurst.... And at that point I had never eaten the forest so it was always baloney or cheese. Robert could afford roast beef or turkey...or It seemed whatever he wanted.
He was a good guy. We lost touch, like So many of us, Right after JHS.
