My Lifelong Friend Terry Sump

I met Terry and his brother Jon outside the neighborhood barbershop when Jon and I were going into the 4th grade. We only lived a few blocks from each other and became fast friends. We opened our imaginations when we were together, as we carried our BB guns to the levee to shoot at squirrels, and look for left behind fishing tackle along the shore. We were there almost every day in the Summers. There was a dock about 20 ft. high where the oil tankers would unload, and we would dive off into the water below. but first someone had to be thrown in to clear the oil slick away. We didn't know from day to day which one of us it was going to be, but if someone new was there, we would say look down below and see if there is anything floating on the water that might hurt us. They would look, and as soon as they said it was all clear, off they went. Hey, Kids are bullet proof (remember) anyway, as we grew the bond between Terry, Jon and I became stronger each year, like braiding a rope, the more strands braided the stronger the rope. Terry has always been a faithful and true friend, through thick and thin and I count him as a brother and confidant.  I couldn't tell all of the adventures, good times, bad times and inside stuff we went through together without having a book like war and peace page number wise. I would hope that everyone has a friend like Terry. And if you don't, naner, naner, naner. ;^)   Almost forgot, there is a picture of  Terry below.
