Dear Harvey family! my condolences to all of you. Ray and I were school mates at "Rita" and every school day morning, rain, shine, sleet, or snow I would meet Ray at 55th and Halsted and we would both stick out our right thumbs and hitchhike a ride all the way from 55th and halsted to 63rd and western until Ray got this crazy little car that most of the time we had to push start!!!!and it had only two seats.Those were the days Brother Ray!! Rest in peace and thank you for being my good buddy. Love you.. Mario Palaggi.
