Other than Dennis Alvarez, or Mike Abril  Dickie iis my oldest friend from the old barrio.  We grew up together from the time we started school until we hit high school.  We played together, got in trouble together, and raised a little hell together too.  By the time we got to high school we had started to go our separate ways, by that time we had different hopes and dreams for the future, Dickie loved carpentry and I wanted to work on jet planes.  Dickie got his dream and went on to be a master carpenter, but first he had to give Uncle Sam 2 years as a Combat Medic.  He never got to Viet Nam but was assigned to a Field Hospital in Germany.  I went off to the Air Force.  I would see Dickie several times over the years I was in the Air Force but only once after I retired.  I saw him about a year before he passed.  He often comes to mind especially when I visit my older sister, she lives in the old barrio and I have to drive past the house where he grew up.  Brings back a lot of good memories.
