Recently remarried, 7/19. Still operating Raleigh based, family owned, second generation insurance adjusting business, and have been virtually since graduation from ECU in '69. After 60 years at same location in downtown Raleigh, sold property last spring (‘17) and moved operation to the 'Midtown' area near Six Forks and Wake Forest Roads. 'Midtown' shucks, this place was country when growing up in Raleigh. Blessed with eight (8) fine, active grandchildren and best of all, still local. Both sons, millennials, presently working in family business.
A NBHS prohibited if not egregious activity in winter of '63-'64 was to throw snowballs towards the building. So, on first snow of consequence around 5th period lunch and in presence of certain 'out crowd' witnesses had to test the water by heaving a nice, firmly packed wet one against our locally quarried building stone siding next to cafeteria, with a resounding big splat! Cost me three days after school though at least without an administered paddling. Times surely have changed!

Hope you had a great one and don’t be a stranger in these parts..
Hope you a great one m, Ray. Hey, we should have somehow managed to hold on to those Dover Rd and McDonald Lane properties as both worth in the high six figures or more now. Real estate in Wake County and especially ‘inside the beltline’ is absolutely insane. But then hear same in other regions too. Oh well, be well my friend.

Johnny ‘Do Damage’ War’ren. There have been many ‘do damage‘ knockoff pretenders since but only one legit, deservingly so. Have a great one and don’t be a stranger till 8/21.
Hope you had a great one. Looks like 8/21 for our next gala.
Craig, was not aware either but best wishes on a complete recovery. Will be August before we know it and look forward to seeing your smiling face then. But in the meantime hope we’ll be crossing paths again at our monthly ‘primers’ at the High Park.
He and I only had one class together, Mrs Harkin’s 12th grade college algebra, above the Holliday Gym fittingly enough. Had the distinct impression he was as misplaced in that class as I was, along with a few others I knew. Saw recently where his LSU freshman tennis shoes sold at auction for 16.5 K, though those infamous ‘floppy socks’ wern’t included! Obviously his fame lives on though everything I’ve seen since indicated he was as unassuming about his stature as was the case when he lit up the scoreboard at Broughton and area others. His superlative ‘65 Latipac comment said as much. Last time I saw him was the summer of ‘66 or 67 at the Jolly Knave on Hillsborough by himself, when he nodded a parting acknowledgment jesture as did I in return. And then he was gone.
