Dwayne and Brittney


We've known each other since the mid 70's(high school)....long long time. but we're the type who goes their own way and sometimes months will go by without contact. Our natural rhythm is this way. During high school Dwayne's folks bought him and his brother a motorcycle to share. We had a gang much like the lunch time riders of today that would ride motorcycles as much as possible. On the weekends we sometimes ended up with crowds watching us race around this little plot of land between a Highs convenience store and Townhouse development. Currently its 1 big parking lot. When they starting building houses we also had fun while that lasted as there were new piles of dirt to explore almost every day. I'm a true believer that my little Honda XR75(1974) kept my mind active on more positive things. Fast forward a bit and Dwayne joined the Air Force right after high school. For some reason I can't remember what I did yesterday but I remember sitting in his car the night I said goodbye to him on that night. He was stationed in England for 5 years at Fairford Air Force base. Upon his return to the states he had no place to live and I had just bought a condo. So we were re-united ....He lived with me while pursuing his bachelors degree at Hood College. Needless to say there were many beers consumed during this period as we were only 23 years old. Dwayne lived in Baltimore for a bit before he got the u-haul bug and ended up in Colorado Springs and eventually California.So now we're 46 and still trying to make sense of it all. Cheers to a good friend....

I didn't see this until now (November 15, 2008). Like they all say, the years really do roll by. I guess the good thing is that there are very very few regrets along the way. Cheers to a you, my friend.
