Zeke, was one of my best friends from High School thru the rest of my life.He stayed with my new wife and I in 1958 for a week right after we got married, and again in 2091 when we moved into our new house in FL after I retired. We talked on the phone often, and he called my two daughters often.We were Hot Shots together in high school. I will miss him a lot. Arthur L Abbott .
