Carl Bradley and I go back 59 years to the summer of 1957 when we both moved into new homes in the Palm Springs Junior High area of Hialeah. He lived across the street from the junior high on the northeast side and I was one block to the east. I hung out with his older brother David, who was my age, off and on through the years until he left Hialeah High to join the Army and serve in Viet Nam and we corresponded by mail while he was over there. Carl and I run into each other at reunions every 10 years or so and it's always good to see him again.
