Edwin and myself were best friends at Jordan HS. Friends since the 10th grade. In our senior year Edwin was forced to transfer to Spencer HS. Forced bussing.  While attending different high schools in 1972 we stayed best friends.  I will always remember hanging at Edwins house on Forest Road  with his brothers RV, Billy, and Raymond. He had the coolest mom ever. Edwin and I raced cars, drank beer and raised hell together.  RIP my friend. I will miss you. Looking to see you again on the other side.
