 Noticing his ear lobes for the first time. It was really embarrassing when
he caught me staring. He called me out on it because he knew exactly what
I was looking at.
When I first started talking to Anthony he mentioned that he just had a
birthday the week before. I asked him when it was. He had to look at his
license to tell me. I asked him how old he was and he wasn't even sure of
that.
For the first part of his 11th grade year, Anthony was nicknamed "Dan the
Man" because a student at Beattie insisted his name was Dan.
When I was first introduced to Anth, Doner said, "This is Duffie. He's the
richest kid I know."
We had dinner at King's once. When we came out of the restaurant a cop car
was waiting for us. He wouldn't let us move the car because it was being driven
illegally. I had to have my sister pick us up. My parents were not happy when
we got home.
On our way down to Florida on a bus, Anth was sleeping across the seats while I
sat on the floor. While he was sleeping, he lifted his head, slammed it into the
window twice, then laid his head back on the pillow. Later that day I sat on his
glasses and broke them. He never wore glasses since.
Mr. Stasko would sing "Puppy Love" to us as loud as he could whenever Anth came
to school.
For NA's senior prom, I called Anth on the phone wondering why he was so late.
He told me he wasn't coming because he had a huge zit. We put make-up on it
and he went anyway.
Anthony made me dance in the parking lot during North Hills prom so he could
prove to me that it was possible to slow dance to "Wonder Wall". People kept
beeping because we were in the way.
We got in-school suspension once at Beattie because we had an icing battle and I
smashed a cup cake in his face.
The typewriter. (Thanx a lot Jay!)
For Anthony's senior project he made a video on how to de-bone a chicken to
make chicken cordon bleu. I was the videographer and we had to do the intro
about four times because I couldn't stop laughing.
I wrote out over 30 pages of make up work in my best "Anthony writing" so
he could graduate on time because he missed school so much.
Anthony and I searched his entire house and tore apart his car looking for North
Hills text books that were very over due. He wasn't able to get his diploma
without them. I think he had to end up buying one because we only ended up
finding 2 out of 3.
Anth used to walk around the house wearing Ruth's pink ballet slippers. He
thought he looked pretty. I have the picture to prove it.
Anth always used to tell me that when he got enough money he was going to
get a lobe reduction operation.
