Herb called me Sunday nite.Again he thanks everyone.I have to write Billy and get more info.Herb hasn't got out of his bed since Jan.He has these sores he's fighting and there from the inside.They come and take x-rays of him and the doctor is watching them closely.
He said the TV and sound system are great.He still hasn't mounted it on the wall yet.There was a problem with his wall or the brakets they sent.
I look at these pictures of him and sometimes cannot comprehend the incident that happened in Denton,Tx in 1970.I'm a 19 yr old kid at the time and never could imagine something like this could happen.It's 35 or 36 yrs later and when I look at the pictures of him out in his neighborhood in Queens everything seems so nice.
He wants to thank everyone but doesn't know how to.He said a day has not gone by where his eyes don't water up thinking of those days back in decemeber and january when these letters started arriving.
I looked at Billy E in the backround of those pictures.he is the true hero of this story. He has been at Herbs side since the day of the accident.He was only at North Texas on a b-ball scholarship because of Herb.Billy like me married a Texan and came back to live in NY.His two sons are lawyers in NYC and his wife has now been striken with multiple sclerosis and in a wheel chair.
Like Billy said a month or two ago to me..the 2 most important people in my life other them my kids are in wheelchairs.
Billy graduated from North Texas and is currently the highest nonjudicial employee in the NYC Court System.Only the judges have more props them him.He has taken care of Herb with the help of herbs mother.
So when you look at that guy behind Herb its hard to believe the friendship and love of those two that has never stopped.In this day and age when so many terrible things are happening in the headlines around the world it's nice to know about a small story in Queens,NY that has effected someones life.
You all here that became guardians are a chapter in both Herb and Billy's life.I know many of you give me a lot of credit by doing this.And i do apprecaite it but like i said a 1,000 times..all i was...was the messenger.MJ and the other places that let me post Herb's story were the stamps that sent the message.You people that stuck a few dollars in an envelope blindly and sent them to him are the heroes.
