During each NFL season, i am reminded of my neighborhood friends, yes way back when we were all just young boys living at the west’ard end of Harkers Island, near Red Hill (for the most part.) One Christmas (maybe 1971ish) we all got NFL uniforms, helmets, pads, and cleats from Sears and Roebuck. On Christmas morning we had the big game. If i remember correctly, Craig Paylor, Mike Sparks and myself were San Francisco 49ers. Jeff Paylor was a Green Bay Packer. Rodney Yeomans was a Chicago Bear. James Ed Sutton was an Oakland Raider. Andy Scott was a Kansas City Chief. John Fulford, Billy Rose, Jay Castro, and William Piner were all Los Angeles Rams. Terry Yeomans did his own thing and got a Shetland Pony. Yep, a real pony. After the Pro Bowl in my back yard we all went to see Terry ride his horse around in circles. Those were the good old days.
We really were one. The west’ard gang.
