Albatross Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Yes Rocky was Pats brother. I never saw Pat for years and then we met up again and became good friends until I moved to Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SputnikBoy Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Thanks for all of the responses but I haven't recognized any names yet. Worse still ...no one has come forward to admit that they knew me! Please keep the posts coming, however. Lawrence (Lol) Burlison is one person who I would love to hear from as he and I were bosom buddies. Well ...maybe not. Y'know ...This is a real bitter pill to swallow. I always thought that I'd become somewhat a legend in the Gleadless Valley area circa 1960. I mean ...I wore a James Dean jacket, I sported what I thought was an Elvis Presley haircut, I walked around toting a guitar as often as possible, I even wore the collar of my shirt up while whistling the latest Buddy Holly tunes. How could anyone NOT have noticed me? Oh my. How quickly the mighty (if only in their minds) topple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
