I have no idea where to start but Ned was like my older brother I never had. Definitely listening to loud music (WIOT 104.7, mainly) had a huge influence as I still love Skynard, Zeppelin, and Aerosmith. Ned and Mike also had an old school desk in their room that had an expertly drawn Boston debut album cover on it. Who drew that?? Also, Ned driving fast! to Grandpa Labino's in his Monte Carlo(?) with me sliding around on the back seat laughing with Mike. I admit I never had the guts to try the chewing tobacco though. I had great memories not only with Ned but all of the Garns. They provided me great childhood memories in the 70's and 80's. My apologies for not being able to attend but you all will be on my mind.
