Today is my oldest brother’s Birthday. Although he spent over 30 years building a distinguished career in law enforcemnt his most memorable achievement in my memory happened in 1959 in Chicago, IL. Returning home from the bus stop after his day at Lane Tech High School he came upon me getting beat to a pulp by a long haired bully nicknamed “Cookie.” Cookie was pounding me, a 90 lb. weakling, (hard to believe, huh? Not that I was a wimp, but that I ever weighed 90 lbs), and with one punch sent Cookie home crying with a bloody nose. Ahhh, Good times!
