I met ex-Barrett JHS buddy Ted Curson at the NY Hilton today, what a day it was! The first guy I ran into was Jon Faddis at the Schilke booth. Tony Kadleck was the next heavy I encountered on the exhibit floor. Billy Taylor was in the lobby, and there I ran into my birthday twin, David Baker.

Two SchuylKILLERS in the same building in the Big Apple ?
That's some scary stuff O Wise One .
After you cats caught up on old-times and when you exited the Hilton through the 6th (Avenue of the Americas) doors did you make a right towards 52nd Street and another right on 52nd St towards 7th Avenue / Joe's Pier (formerly,The Hickory House) to enjoy some sea food and fermented grapes ?
Wilmer,the next time you visit with Ted,ask him if he remembers a former NBA player (Sonny Crawford) of the '60 from the days he lived by Salem Church/
St.Nicholas on 136th & 7th Avenue.
Lionel Hampton owned the new building on 136th & Amsterdam Avenue.

As we were getting on the elevator to go upstairs, Curtis Fuller was exiting that elevator. Man, it was like "Old Home" week.

I'm almost certain that Curtis resided in Brooklyn by Foster & Nostrand (Vanderveer Estates) during the early '70s.
Never had a chance to talk with him as I was playing hoops and having to contend with James "Fly" Williams.
