Check out the new white sneakers on yours truly. I was 11-years-old at the time. My basketball career was short lived. I got a sore butt from sitting on the bench. Notice too, I looked malnurish. The Cleary family was very poor in those days, we only ate one meal a day, and that was peanut butter and jelly. 0:)

P.S. Alan has lived in Flordia since 2004. The Mesters if you recall owned and operated Mester\’s Cleaners at Market and Sussex Streets, Gloucester City.
