2 years older than me. I’m at that age now where people my age are kicking off. Ugh. Just had another High school classmate of mine pass last week from kidney failure after fighting cancer then one last year who had a heart attack while driving and went right into a tree. Yet Keith Richards lives on.

Yes, a silly movie that ended with the kids destroying a business, but, I laughed my body parts off at the scene in the principal’s office.

Whenever I think of the movie, it’s the scene in the principal’s office that first comes to mind.

Sad news. Rest in Peace Tony. I briefly knew Tony when he first started acting (The Wanderers). We used to work out at the YMCA in New Rochelle. His uncle had something to do with the production of the movie which helped him get his start.

The best part was the picture of Ike smiling at the end of the scene.
