Soon thereafter I left for Philly (thanks to my brother for talking my grandfather into letting me stay), stayed at my grandpas house on my father's side for a few years, a couple of jobs here and there (mainly security), and stayed out of trouble. My first job after another brief stint on welfare was at burger king where I met a lot of good people, one in particular name Bob. Now he was the coolest white boy that I knew. We became friends both on an off the job. We also came close to a fistfight, but cooler heads prevailed. We went to drink after closing down on the job along with a couple other co-workers and I got stone drunk.
I could hardly stand after three cans of old english 800 and they were ready to play basketball at 5:00 in the morning remember one of them saying as they put me in the car "don't earl in my car man". So we got to the court which was right in back of bk and I tried to hang but could not so I laid on the bench knowing that the ultimate was about to happen. I tossed up alot, so much that they stopped playing ball and took me inside burger king and called for an ambulance. They came and said that I had to much to drink and to rest. So at his place I said something that ticked him off and he threw me out later saying that I got him kicked out. Well I made it home and needless to say I did not make it to work that night and slept for 13 hours straight, no lie!
I could not believe it when I woke up. Well we remained good friends after those incidents, and he later went into the navy, saw him once or twice and have not seen or heard from him since. We wrote to each other for awhile, as I kept in touch with his girlfriend and their two children until about 1988-89, when she moved from her mount airy apartment. At last I remember him on the USS constellation and that's it so if anyone knows his whereabouts please contact me I miss him. I finally obtained a better job after some college at the school district of Philadelphia. I travel when I can, and a party or two is not out of the question.
