Who was this guy with the red stained finger tips, shells on the ground around him, skateboarding with the surf shop tee shirt hanging below his knees, riding a wave with classic style, running around the basketball court with lightning speed, quick witted with comments and comebacks and all around mister cool ? This was the guy in our neighborhood I wanted to be like .....
He was Larry Hochstadt
Oh, by the way, this is Stevie Casar who Larry also told me not to eat the green nuts in those red pistachios he was shelling all over the ground ..... Naturally he was laughing .
