...From another time and place, we endure to lose another Friend.....

                   


                                From anther time we will drift back to those Days that now catch up with us in a most unusual time and matter....


              It was back in the early Eighty's when I chanced upon a new ambition that developed into a craft that had been within  me and my past ancestry's. What or Whom, made that develop was an 'ol Hippy....yeah they say he was the first Hippy in New Milford....so with myself having left a visit in Florida in the '60's being the 'only Beard on the Beach....I figured what the Hell.....

             Tom Spargo taught me how to build...I mean really build a secure structure that would outlast us both. Starting from the ground up that corner of the house better be as close to 'right on' as a String through the eye of the Needle......which means all Levels and squares shall indicate so, other wise the Sheet rockers on the 2nd and 3rd floor are gonna come after you w Blood in their eyes....but we didn't worry since we didn't need Tom to come after us with Blood in his eyes.....it was bad enough watching him hold back that anger when things didn't quite go his way...
             We had developed a unique  partnership, both in work and play. As much as we liked to 'Party', Tom always kept the two separate, well as much as possible! A Case of Heineken was a good day. Anything more would have just put us into another place.

             I would venture to say coming from one of his saying's that I can now relate to after learning so much from him....'shit, I've forgotten more than he'll ever know'...

               ...Rest in Peace...you 'ol Hippy.....
