Subject: And Bernie Just Says "I'm Curious"

Submitted for your approval. Circa 1973.  The setting is down right field line 
  at Old Comiskey, where the vendors are waiting for John to give out the items.  
  Bernie, Tidd and Irving are already there, when Gary Shulman, Nerd and I walked 
  in the little doorway.  At this point, I pressed the record button on my tape 
  recorder.
  
  As we enter, Nerd is "serenaded" as you will hear. A vendor who went to Sullivan 
  
  with Gary and I, Allen Gilbert makes reference to those days when he greets me 
  as "hi old Division buddy"   Division was like a home room where you got all of 
  your important messages before going off to class.
  
  If you listen carefully, Irving will mumble something about....Jewish Holidays.
  
  There are some comments that sound like they come from Glick & Lane?  (Help me 
  here with your feedback)
  
  But,  the funniest part is that Bernie had been bothering Nerd about where his 
  mother works?  To this day, I still don't know what that was about, (maybe Gary 
  or someone can elaborate for us?)    When Nerd asks "What do ya want to know 
  fer?" Bernie just says "I'm curious"    The irony here is that within 3 years 
  Bernie would again wonder about Nerd and his mom: but this was about "where did 
  Nerd put da money"  after Mark's mom died in '75 from getting the wrong medicine 
  
  in the hospital
  
  Another highlight is Johnny Skweres who gets mixed up, and calls me Larry!  When 
  
  asked who is he talking about, you'll here him say "Reimer  or is it 
  Weimer?"     Could it be possible that Johnny was mixing me up with another 
  friend from Sullivan who vended at that time:  Larry Weiner?   Guess we'll never 
  
  know for sure.
  
  NOTE:  Due to poor sound quality, it might be easier to understand everything a 
  little better if you turn your speakers down which will help eliminate some 
  distortion
  
  Anyway, enjoy this golden moment from our past
