I haven't read your book yet but I am anxious to read it.This web site brings back good AND bad memories as the book will too I'm sure.I hung out at kilbourn park from 1980 until about 1994.no one has mentioned the girls that hung out at Kilbourn yet.We hung out from morning till night just as down as the guys,we represented,wore our colors and supported and represented for our neighborhood.we WERE like a family.But now that I'm an adult now and am much wiser.What exactally did we stand for? what was our cause? somebody explain to me why we had to see so many of our friends die and for what?we've been to too many funerals than one should be at before what should be our time.and somebody wrote in here that somebody's kids are Gaylords now and they act proud of it.Speaking as a parent myself I am appalled to hear that someone is proud of that.I use myself and their father as a bad example.as an example of what I don't want them to do.I am not prepared to plan my own childs funeral.I'm suppose to go before them and being in a gang the probability of them being first is good.and another thing some of the people in the memorial which I'm sure would have given their life for the Gaylords actually died from doing drugs.which ultimately resulted in Aids.I don't regret anything I have done,( and I suppose it's only because i'm still alive and okay to talk about it) although I don't agree with it.If that makes any sense.Pollack Bob I do want to thank you for everything you've done for me although I know you don't realize it.You have helped me a lot when Tony and I lived downstairs from you.You helped me more than you know.and till this day I think about it.Thank You!! and I'll see you in 3 weeks at the football game I look forward to seeing everyone..Michelle
