I just learned from my Sister, who keeps tabs on happenings back in my boyhood town of Bridgeport WV, that my best friend as a boy growing up in Bridgeport has died. Some of my fondest memories of my early childhood were of Jimmy and I racing around on our bikes all over Bridgeport and playing Wiffle ball with the wheelchair-bound kid with MD who lived next door to Jimmy.
After we moved away when I finished 6th grade (Dad was Army), I didn't keep in touch with Jimmy. It wasn't until I learned of his death and looked up the obit that I learned that apparently he had Autism - something that as a kid I was totally unaware of - I just thought it was Jimmy being Jimmy.
Kind of sad to learn of someone passing who was once upon a time such a good friend.
