“Jimmy was a bright light to me in 5th and 6th grade.Funny,and generous.Only kid to ever treat me to a slice of pizza.When discussing movies with him at the time,he asked me if I saw Imitation of Life.What a strange but wonderfully adult choice of a film to brag about.He bore a resemblance to a young Jackie Gleason,and I always cnsidered his mother a glamour girl.Thanks for the memory's Jimmy and the pizza.Too bad we couldnt connect after P.S. 148,although we both went to 145&Newtown H/S.
