<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Peter Economakis, post: 4680959, member: 111558&quot;]My privately owned corner store will be happy to take some change. He&#039;s foreign and not the type to make conversation &#039;more of a jerk I would say&quot; so I didn&#039;t ask about the shortage issue..</p><p><br /></p><p>Manny, that read was some powerful reading<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> It&#039;s amazing what are relatives went through to give us a good life.. I never went hungry one day in my life but they suffered. I will re read it again as soon as I post this.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I&#039;m 57 and my Father was drafted 4 or 5 times in the Greek army during WW2. Yes he had me that late in life. His suffered frost bite on his toes, he didn&#039;t lose any but his nails grew really weird.</p><p>Iv&#039;e had Uncles from both parent&#039;s that I never got to know because of the Nazi&#039;s taking them.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s funny to just how many people don&#039;t know Harry Agganis. Actually he isn&#039;t in my blood line, just that my father grew up with his father or uncles&nbsp; in Logganiko who lived in Lynn. Iv&#039;e been to their homes a few times maby 35 years ago and they told me story&#039;s of him. Talk about pictures, wow so many and I have a feeling your Pops was in some and i&#039;m sure we have been to the same functions, weddings etc..</p><p>He was a great friend with YAZ and Yaz loved Harrys Mom&#039;s cooking.</p><p>It&#039;s even sadder that he died because his issue was curable, it was all started when he took a beating in a game I think playing QB for BU and they couldn&#039;t protect him.</p><p>It was stingy Sox owner I think Yawkey that just brought Harry to like a sports injury clinic, rather than a hospital. If i&#039;m wrong correct me please.</p><p>Look up the &quot;Logganiko Society&quot; i&#039;m sure there pics or mentions of your Pops.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tim Fox as a friend in the day, pretty cool. He played before my interest in the NFL but I know his story of a player.</p><p><br /></p><p>I went to Brookline High which many students are pretty much famous. Not me though<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie10" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Met and knew few pro sports players, Howie Long, Russ Francis and a few others. My friend got a shot rejected from Patrick Ewing back when he played in Cambridge.</p><p><br /></p><p>My Father co owned a resteraunt for years on Charles St in Boston. Your Pops could of went there. It was right near the State House so alot of story&#039;s. One was that the Boston Strangler killed a poor woman in the apartments right on top.</p><p>The Police actually hung out there and staked out for a while.</p><p><br /></p><p>If this is posting is bothering members I will glady ask the Mods to move it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
