Richard Ward
June 30, 2025
In July of 1977 Rod and I(Rick Ward) had graduated from high school. We headed for Louisiana but ended up driving to Hollywood Florida instead, since his mother and sister lived there. But once we got to Hollywood we wondered how we would get a hold of his mother for the address. There were no cell phones in those days. We pulled over at a spot in the median of the highway wondering what to do next, when Rod looked over to our left and said:"I think that is the house right there (Rod had lived in Hollywood for a short time back in grade school). We drove over to that house and Rod knocked on the door and sure enough his sister Kim answered the door! At first Kim didn't believe him but within a few seconds she did recognize him and let us in. That is how we ended up living in Florida that summer.
