Random Flashback for Friday 5/6/16

If this were a Friday night twenty years ago back in 1996, chances are there would be a small gathering planned for the Greentree townhouse, which we were running kind of like a fraternity house (now forever memorialized in one of my tattoos as TauEpsilonDelta).

The D for the Delta also stands for DJ, who's the oldest of the Whitmans there on the left ... but it was the littlest Whitman who was the star at these parties (well, at least in the early part of the evening before his bed time).  As I recall, he liked all the pretty girls that showed up at the gatherings -- which, might be obvious, judging from that smile on his face setting there betwixt two of them.

Eventually, Greentree got shut down (but fraternity living was revived one more time in a different place -- a story for another Friday) and DJ passed away ... but we all have these memories of the simpler time long ago ... that somehow also feels like just yesterday.
