Don't despair Bill. As we age our memories play tricks on us and make us think our youth was golden. Yes the world seems broken, but there are good people out there and good will prevail.

South Brooklyn was like Mayberry back then and I didn't even realize at the time all the history I was right in the middle of, I lived right in the middle of Mafia Town with notorious people all around me and I've seen quite a few things growing up, ahhhh it was all such a blast looking back, God I miss it all so much even with all the bad, nothing is worse than what's happening today😢
