I often think of my childhood friend since he passed in 1995. Randy and I grew up together dating back to nursery school where our mothers first met. We often played at each others houses. The Phair's had a player piano in their downstairs playroom. We had great times pushing the pedals and singing "On The Sunny Side of the Street." They also had a cabin at Lake Arrowhead---appropriatly named "The Phair's Leaning Lair".'. Riding in their boat on the lake was a real treat. Other times were spent at the arcade in Lake Arrowhead village. Good times they were. We sort of drifted apart in high school, when Randy participated in varsity football, basketball,baseball. I was not athleticaly inclined like him.
I last talked with "Herbie", his childhood nickname, just after my mother passed away in 1990. I only wished we had spent more post SPHS time together. Maybe we would be social media buds on facebook or twitter if he were alive today.
R.I.P. "Herbie".

Hi Ken,
I hope all is well with you. I agree that I often think of Randy. We were all good friends together and had a lot of fun. It's funny that when ever I fill out some website thats asks me who my best friend in school was I always put Randy. I also miss him and his mother who was like a second mother to me and all of us. And yes the player piano, which when I grew up I had to have one, still have it and love to play on the sunny side of the street and sing.
Sincerly,
David Husner
