My Oldest Friend
Raeford Liles
Military family
Birmingham, Alabama
Fighter pilot
South Pacific
Just a kid then
My oldest friend
This week 93
Wild and crazy guy
In every sense
Brilliant collages
Godfather taught me
Survival skills
Laundry and cooking
Outrageous chef
Hotplate whipping
Up gourmet meals
Seafood from markets
Near Port Authority
Hookers cruising
At night catching
Sailors and fish
Told jokes
Not always funny
He laughed anyway
Crazy as a coot
More lives than a cat
Having the last laugh
