Some committed suicide

I just wanted to comment on your book. I just started reading it and it has put a lump in
my throat.
Some of my best friends were the Homies. I was a Townie, but, one of the outcasts of
them.
I came from the wrong side of the tracks and a lot of them would let me know it too. So,
when I was hanging around Princeton, I became friends with a few of the Homies. They
were good people and I never thought I was better than any of ’em.
the sad part is I lost track of a few of them. Some of them lost track of themselves and
committed suicide in later years. Others went on to be the best they could be.
No matter where I travel in this life, I have always said I am a better person for having
had the opportunity to have friends like my homie friends. They understood me and I
them. I would like to think all our lives were made better by having known each other.
Thank you for your book. It brought back many memories for me a the Home that is no
longer there and the friendships that came out of it.
