"Dick and I were best friends when we were kids in Antigo. In fact, he was my very first best friend. I lived across the street with my late grandmother Tress then, on Elm Street. I've tried to get hold of Dick for years, since the 1980s. The Internet made it possible, but too late to talk and laugh about the good old days. My best to all, including Violet, Allen, Janet, and Judy. Sorry I haven't seen you all in so many years. Scott"
