I met Jerry at P.S.92 in the fourth or fifth grade. He was a "new kid" so I made it a point to introduce him to friends. As the years past, three of us , Abbe Leban, Jerry and I grew close-playing ball on the street, being in a high school fraternity and much more. College came, Jerry to CCNY, Abbe to Columbia and I to NYU. We dated girl friends together- Jerry was more sexually active than either of us, or so it seemed. While in college, I got a part time job with a theatre ticket agency that lasted about a year, and Jerry took over after that. We kept in touch when we entered the job market, for a while. Jerry met Phyllis and moved to California. I moved to Miami, Florida. Abbe went to Washington, D.C. I stayed in Miami for nine years, married and moved back to NYC. Jerry came to West Palm Beach or Boynton Beach later. I moved to Philadephia where Jerry and I met for lunch, the last time I saw him. Abbe died about a year ago. I retired after practising law in Philadelphia for 50 years and now live in Brookline, MA. I will be 90 on March 12, but otherwise little changed. Jerry was justifiably annoyed with me for making and cancelling social get togethers. I have always liked Phyllis a great deal. Wish we saw more of one another over the years. My wife of 53 years, Miriam, a Miami native died five years ago. Our eldest daughter, Lauren lives in Brookline. Another daughter Catherine(Kaki) is in D.C. where she is a lawyer. My phone number is 484 437-6804(cell) Address is 1550 Beacon Street Apt.6G, Brookline, MA.02446, With love Jack
