Marvin,
So sorry to hear about your Dad. I have such good memories of us getting out of school at Andrean, our freshman year, when I stayed on 19th & Washington. You would go check in with Pops at the salon, and after I would check in at the crib, the streets were ours.

Hope to hear from you,

Darrell Johnson
