It’s been about 45 or 50 years sense we were good friends at Lakewood Elementary played football there together and hung out at Joseph B Whitehead boys club I found him on FB about 4 or 5 years ago. We had many chats and shared a long of memories from our Lakewood days.
His most spoken words were ROLL TIDE. See you again some day my friend. Wild Bill Eskew.
