Doug and I grew up a few blocks from each other in Allentown. I fondly remember neighborhood gatherings with friends when we made pizza, played hopscotch in my garage,and just enjoyed each other's company. Most recently there have been neighborhood reunions with some of the same friends. Lots of good memories.
