I'm getting up in years . . .I'm slowing down.
A friend of mine passed away at age 75, fewer and fewer are left.
I write this to remember him, to tell others so they remember.
even thought he was a stranger to most , if not all of you.
He was a Mechanical Engineer,
He spent 1968 as a Marine in Viet-Nam, combat infantry badge, 1 star.
and a fellow Library Board Member.
and he liked sheath Knives.
How do I know you'll remember him. ?
Because of a funny anecdotal story.
Alan was the only Guy I ever met,
That could write "Train Robber Pistolero" . . .as a job on his resume.
I laughed so hard when I saw it actually on his resume.
When he was young, at an Amusement Park.
He would wear a black cowboy hat, and blank firing six shooter,
and rob a train full or tourists.
And a bit down the line, a Sheriff white hat would shoot him dead.
And he would theatrically fall off the half size park Train Ride,
into a pile of Hay.

Hi Jerry,
I’m guessing he was a very fun loving man. Thanks for writing about him. He won’t be forgotten.
