Walters and Dick and Loius Lowy out of Hialeah, Florida. They kept us employed, busy and in demand almost […]

The Reunion
As expected, we all moved on and got busy with “life”. While there was substantial separation involved (especially me, who moved to Chicago in 1980) the connection remained in our hearts. In 2008, I started to spend the winters here in Miami and we finally got around to setting up a reunion in February of […]
