So many memories, it's hard to pick just one.
We were neighbors as the crow flies and hung out a lot in our high school years.
Probably my fondest memory was when Spido and I rode double on my horse into town from the trailer. Brian didn't have his license at the time, and I was never trusted to use the family car. We stopped at Laverne's tavern and picked up some beer to drink at the park. Trying to hold onto the beer and the horse proved to be quite entertaining and I'm surprised neither of us fell off as hard as we were laughing. That was some pretty foamy beer. We also loved to play "Name That Tune" using the radio since TV was not optimal back in the 70's.
I got to know most of the Leigh family back then and still hold all of them in high regards.
Brian was the best friend I had at that time, and I truly believe he saved me from myself. I think a lot of people feel the same. So, Brian, I love you, I salute you, and I will never forget you, my friend.
