Jimmy,
After 6 years together not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. My first boyfriend and the love of my life. So many good times-so many adventures. (Fl.,Calif., Israel,, Spain, Switzerland-Europe) with your surfboard) Today is our 50th reunion and I wish you were here with all of your friends.
Gone but never forgotten.

What fond memories I have. We surfed and fished together for years. You truly inspired me. Probably the best surfer in Miami Beach. All the surf trips we took together. A lot of people did not know that you surfed for G&S (Gordon Smith)out of California back then. They would send you surfboards for free. You would try them for a month or so. Then sell them to me cheap if I liked them. I moved to Cocoa Beach after high school to pursue a surfing career all because of you. I thank you my friend.
As far as fishing you where the best. Never forget you me and David Lawrence fishing 79st bridge late at night. I hooked a large fish in the middle of the bridge. It wrapped around the pilings. I was going to cut the line. You grab the rod and we did nothing for 10 minutes. It freed itself. Got it to the seawall after 40 minutes. You told David to jump in and grab the fish and he did. We were laughing so hard. It was a 40 pound tarpon. Thanks Jimmy for the memories!! Miss you everyday.

Fred and I were on the same Pony League team at North Shore Park. Coached by the great legend Gary Kelson. We later were teammates at Beach. Fred was a slick fielding second baseman who could turn a double play with great flare! Coincidentally, when I was working at the Bellagio a couple friends had sons who played baseball at a local Vegas high school. They mentioned the center fielder on the team. His name was Scotty Berke. I said he doesn't have a father named Fred does he? Of course the answer was yes! So, Steve Effenson and Gary Kelson were visiting and we went to see Scotty Berke play. Of course the proud dad was in the stands! We had a very nice reunion and watched his very talented son play ball. I'm glad we got to have that time together! RIP Fred!

I met Miguel at Crespi Park a short time after my family moved to MB from Miami in 1963. There was a group of us that grew very tight instantly. Scotty Rubin RIP, Mitchell Gilson, Miguel and I were inseparable. The bond was a love for all sports. We would be at the park right after breakfast and home usually a little late for dinner. Miguel and his family like lots of Cubans came over very young in '59. His family like most came over with the bare minimum, and became in short order hard working Cuban Americans! Miguel was a extremely good baseball player and under the tutelage of legendary coach Skip Bertman we won a lot of games. Miguel played a big part in our success! As with most high school friends you kind of unfortunately lose touch after going your separate ways. Thankfully, Miguel called me in Vegas and we got to have a great night out reminiscing about old times over dinner and drinks! I was heartbroken to hear of Miguel's passing around a decade ago. I'm thankful for the fond memories! RIP Miguel!

I remember those days with Sandra and Judy in the band as majorettes. We use to practice together in our neighborhood . We lived on the same street. We use to polish our white boots and had them shiny with our big tarsals. We just had a lot of fun in the neighborhood because most of us were in the band or on the football team. I miss you so, but GOD LOVED YOU BEST; RIP
