BOYZ in THE
HOOD
In 1980 my
parents bought a house in a community called Somerset. The community was right across the
street from our family church and my grade school. As I assimilated into my new
surroundings, I began to hang out with a group of 8 guys mostly pictured here. Growing up
in Somerset was incredible. As children, we would play sports and other games: War,
Lights, and Kick the Can. As adults, we would go out to the bars in Fells Point to drink
and party together.
This pic was taken at one of many week long vacations in Ocean City
that we spent together. |

After High School, some of us
went to college, some of us went directly to work, some of us did both. Soon our group
would be expanding as each of us met people in our now different areas. But the core group
remained. Keeping in touch and hanging out as much as possible.
Well as we age, the years go by faster and contact becomes less frequent. All of us have
become successful in our own ways; finishing school, starting graduate school, getting
engaged, buying a house, achieving career goals, and finding our paths in life. Some of us
find it harder to pick up the phone, send e-mail, or write a letter to those who are not
in our immediate surroundings. But we, as a group, as brothers, know that each and every
one of us will be there for the other whether things are going tough or things are going
great. |
