Where do I start? There is no mistaking him. Too much of a good thing back then? Ever put a thought of any kind to him? Early on, it had the wrong effect on him [success]. He waited around till the Eighties to continue where he had left off. But something was missing from his previous days. Still, he was able to keep himself working with consistency. Some good. Some not so good [years]. He never stopped. But there were many challenges along the way. One was regarding to styles. Styles that were changing as fast as today's. It was of concern to not only him. It was not what you would want at the time. An unwanted holiday. Hard to match his previous years. Early in his life in NYC, he spent his time being a cadet. A cadet that couldn't help himself. He was unable to stop from doing things that just were too out of the ordinary for a professional. Still, he felt something with his desires to be interacting on a stage, instead of being over powered with the wrong career move. He tried to see another side to what his parents wanted him to do. Being an ambitious officer. But the effect of having spent time on the other side was more appealing than that profession being talked of now. Pursuing his dream was largely what he wanted. His parents were trying to ignore what he really wanted. But they failed once he grew his hair. Besides, he had never seen or heard of such disregard for those that were long-term, working for NYC, trying to enforce regulations on those that opposed the uniform. He never got it during that period in his life. To have a continuous job that some of the public didn't respect. He never demonstrated the willingness for it. The reality is, he would lead himself over to the west coast of California, where he would become a name in no time. But due to extreme excess, he always came up short till the early '90s. This is when he reemerged again for a short time, only to be swiped away due to the arrival of new trends. It wasn't preventable with most that followed that time. Turns out, this is how it is. You and I know it. In '80 it was common knowledge, he had a serious body cramming, failing miserably with a chemical intake by accident. I don't think something like that was done out of spite. But due to it, it caused him to bend down, hunched over, for over ten hours in a very difficult position. In truth, it really cramped his lower leg. It would be some time, as he was in no condition to manage. A short time later though, I was surprised to see him with a cane. He got himself up, literally holding the walking stick in place, waking up after that bad experience with a lot of things to think of then. After all, it did bodily harm to him, as well at that time. He made it on himself to clean himself up, which he did, with a full recovery. He just wanted to get back what he had. As a result of his determination, he has remained consistent since then. Getting back to the way his friend Bill would have wanted. After all, it was Bill who had lent his hand. Remember Bill? *E*

The October 1968 issue of Boys Life magazine offer. For one dollar you get a Corgi die cast miniature Mustang Fastback 2 plus 2 with plated bumpers and opening doors, the works! Plus a Corgi membership certificate, badge and handbook which are all worth fifty cents! I think Corgi cars are the greatest. Today, they cost a lot more than three dollars.

After a short hiatus, the elusive game is back!
I was kinda tired today, but fortunately have decided to get back to my thing.
Nothing too predictable yet. Sorry to disappoint a few of you.
So, while I'm at it, do try and think it out.
UPDATED: SOLVED!
