Terry and I met in Walt Whitman high school back in the early 60s he was a year or so older than I he had a green Jeep and I had a green Jeep we became friends we used to go to the Izaak Walton league in Poolesville Maryland, and shoot rifles and shotguns. We had fun together he older than I had a drivers license. After high school, we went our separate ways only to reunite years later, after our military duties, only to find out that he had married Peggy Sullivan the sister of My to be wife, Mary Jane Sullivan. So I guess you could say we became brother-in-law`s. Anyway, Terry was a good man we had a lot of fun together over the years. Sorry to hear that he is gone. Rest in peace old friend Semper Fi. Rob.
