So many fun memories of the 50s with my good pal Novot. When I got drafted in 56 and asked him to look after my 40 ford for 2 years. Out foxing the NOPD one night going over 100 then watching him become a police officer himself. All the stock car races we shared with Mokie & driving to Miami in that hot 57 Chevy. Riding shot gun with him in the police cruiser whenever I was in town. What a treat it was to just be his friend....I will miss him a whole bunch and always remember what a special guy he was to me.....Pierre
