A voice from my past ..... heard from today

"You've got a call, someone named ..... Moody."

The wheels started spinning right away, "Moody!"

I forget how he started the conversation, trying to remind me who he was, he didn't know I needed NO reminding ...... Moody, Riverside, no, Modesto, California ..... tall, black curly hair .....

It was a real rush .... memories came flooding back so fast, pizza, the apartment, the Navy, Receiving Station, Tijuana, Rosarito Beach Hotel ............

My best friend from ..... 55 years ago ............. we talked till my phone died, then I called him back and we talked some more...

I am still on an emotional high .... so many memories, such a great time in my life, and he was such a big part of it.

I ate my first pizza with him, cheese and sausage .. he remembered too.

Why not, its only been 55 or so years ....

I am still excited, he opened a flood gate of memories .....
