So at this stage you really hadn't clued in on the best friend thing, it was always just a bunch of you getting together for baseball or whatever the game was.

    I have never had what I*d describe as a best friend until my second wife.

Bill,
Your strong characterization keeps me wanting more of your story. I'm of your same generation, and I think we had it tough.
Exceptional work, Bill. Very worthy of six stars.

I'll bet you learned to fight after your encounter with Lloydy. Too bad you didn't ask for a rematch to win back the girl's affections. Very nice job. Thanks for sharing.

Great travel both in time and places!! Perfect description of the doubts and uncertainties that a young boy faces in his evolution to become a man. Decision are tough sometimes (like the one to be part of a fist fight), and did not think of consequences, clearly described in all your conclusion. Again, perfect travel in time and places! Thanks for sharing!

On a day when I needed a smile, Bill, this was a wonderfully well-written story. This was very entertaining, all those cousins, I myself had 18 first cousins. Little girls can be a little fickled.
Thank you for the read.
Regards,
Mary

Fantastic conclusion. A story within a story. I was not expecting the irony or the psychological aspects, well, at least not so poignant.
Just very good writing.
I could have read a few more chapters.
What about a book Bill?
Writing like this can only be a best.
I would read from the start.
My best.
Have a great Sunday.

-Good image and story, Bill.
-I enjoyed reading it.
-Good descriptive detail
about where you grew up
and how things were done
back in the day.
-I can relate to growing up
in a small town, although none
of my relatives lived there except
my mom and dad!
-It must have been a strange
experience, and certainly led
to some dramatic moments in
your life.
-Thanks for sharing the story.

Your story is very well written and you do a marvelous job of character descriptions and developing them as you go. Your ending brings the reader in and interested... and a little compassionate too. :). Well done, Bill.

    It is as factual as I can recall, Dolly. I didn?t even change the names.
