Gary, Rich Freeman, and I grew up in Lawrence's Barker Neighborhood in the 1900 Block of Barker and Rhode Island when the whole world seemed to be made up of baby boomer kids. Before he could graduate from LHS, his family moved to Bonner Springs where he was mentored by my brother Ray who was the Bonner Springs High School football coach. Peace and happiness to Jean, Valerie, April, Krystal, Carol, Roger, Terri, Jeff, and Aaron.
