Hi There, I just wanted to say hello because I think I remember you. Your a little older then me. I actually went to school John Wilson with your brother Richard. Hi Richard. I lived in BayView Houses but hung out in your projects with everyone, such as Charles Mills who my sister Holly Tyson used to date who also went to John Wilsn and Canarsie High. You bought a smile to my face when I was reading your msg and the innocence of childhood. We can truly consider ourselves Blessed. My entire family moved to Maryland about 13 yrs ago. Ask your brother Richard if he remembers me. Wow....So many years ago. Thanks for the memories of Happier days when all had to worry about was doing the chores before being able to play outside. My Warmest Regards Dawm Tyson
