 Hillary, Bruce's sister, is only a year older than I, so we all formed a terrific threesome. We used to practice riding our bikes with no hands, fight over who got the back seat on the school bus, and play outside in the rain until it looked as though we would all catch a cold. In 1979, Bruce's family moved to Ohio, and six months later, my family was there, too, only 45 minutes away. Our next four years, we managed to bring the families together on birthdays and holidays.
