Comment on Phillip and Me - Conclusion

You are a great writer. I was spellbound to keep reading. I was in the Class of 78 but had older relatives from the Class of 74 and 70. I too, had driven by Central Park and saw "the tree" where the crash occurred. I admire your sense of brotherhood. I know this was not easy to write. I pray you've truly forgiven yourself as you know Phillip would have easily have forgiven you for any real or perceived transgressions. God Bless you and thanks for the entries.

Looks like you've found your true calling, David. Keep up the good work. Also...you look really good minus the hair and the extra pounds. I'm happy for you that you've gotten rid of that "monkey". He was getting heavy, wasn't he?

I like your story. There must be several good stories about the Peppermint. A few folks were not so lucky as you and I heard had a hard time getting out alive. In my one and only great adventure there, it was with the knowledge that I knew several folks there and I hoped that they would keep us out of trouble. We were lucky ourselves in that we were in a place we had no business being but we were bullet proof!!!

Good to have a new post David. Missed hearing from you. I spent 10 days last October in KK,Malaysia. I met a number of Philippine refugees and a few 'boat people'. It was an eye opening type trip. It made me realize, once again, how blessed we were to grow up in a town like Pampa in the USA.

Great story Tommy. Thanks for sharing with us.

Hi David.
Tommy Davis here. Your site has kept me from getting much work done the last few hours. It is very well done. You are a gifted story teller. I just found your site via the PHS 1969 class site, which I also found just a couple of days ago.
Ah, the memories your stories bring up - like when Phil and I stopped to talk to each other outside the Lamplighter Restaurant - probably less than a couple of hours before his departure through that thin place that manifested itself at City Park that night. Phil and I did not know each other all that well - but for some reason he greeted me like a long lost friend as they were coming out and we were going in. I always admired Phil, and for him to stop and visit with me like he did when I thought he barely knew me from Adam - well, it just made me feel like I was worth being liked.

Thanks for your labor of what ever you call it. Its good and its a blessing.

Thanks, David. This is definitely a part of Pampa that I knew very little about. So sad for all of us that we were so segregated in those days.
I got a huge kick out of the video... I will never do the twist without a "hop" again!

Of course I remember you, Ken. Thanks for the compliments. I am glad you "stumbled" in.
