The last photo was taken 11/24/74 of me at work on removing a keystone at the age of 14, photo was taken by my friend Mario Rossi who unfortunately didn't know how to run an Instamatic camera which resulted in a blurry photo. Sure wonder what ever became of him, age 17 or so he got involved with drugs and a bad crowd in Washington Sq Park, his dad died of cancer, mom took off and abandoned him. I tried to get him some help thru the city and the last time I saw him I put him in a taxi to take him downtown.
