El was the goalkeeper for HJH and I played for UDJH in 9th grade. El got creamed on an attempted save, I mean really creamed, it was not a dirty play, just a very hard play. Well the stuff hit the fan and a scuffle broke out. Nothing serious. El finished the game. We all talked about him in the locker room afterwards, he had guts.
My parents moved to Havertown that summer and I became a Ford. El came up to me in home room that first day of school and said, "Didn't you play for UD last year? I can't remember my answer bur I remember El's. He said, "You going out for soccer?" Man of few words.
El, you were a friend. You and Bill are always remembered.
