It’s an MC ( Motorcycle Club), oldest in the country I believe. I lost contact with him several years ago. I last heard that he was somewhere out West and his health was poor, that was some years ago. He’s a Marine buddy from a lifetime ago.
What we needed for our first black president was a Jackie Robinson. What we got was a Rickey Henderson.
