Friends Reunited



Jack and Morris grew up in New York, and they met in junior high and became great friends.  Here's a picture of the two of them at a birthday party in 1949, about a year before Jack went off to the Korean War.  Not long after that, they lost touch, and they didn't see each other again until recently, when they met each other by surprise at our Camden Cafe.  They had each been living in San Jose for decades, never knowing the other was here too!  I took a new picture of them today -- friends reunited.
