In this photo are Bill Knight, Frank Sousa, John Vincent, Rob Eydenberg, Tom Kelley and Joe McCabe. The guy with the cast got his knuckles broken when he didn’t sell enough Gansett.

Hi Jeff,

Hi Neighbor!

Jeff, I was just a youngster who used to watch the Red Sox games (Curt Gowdy, Bob Murphy) and I think the Atlantic gas

guy was Bill Coleman — then, there was your mom. I just loved her. My mother and I always tried to sound like her when she’d say “the best beer every brewed……”

I remember hearing the news of the plane crash — as I recall, you lost both parents. It was so tragic and as a youngster myself, when they said that she left a young son, I

remember thinking “that poor boy has lost his parents.”

I’m afraid I have nothing to offer in the way of memorabilia or stories — just what I’ve told you here. I typed your mom’s name in the search bar, hoping to find something and I did. Then, when I saw your post, I figured I’d answer.

I hope you had a good and happy childhood, Jeff, despite such a terrible and tragic loss. I imagine you had aunts and

uncles or even grandparents who raised you.
