WINKLER July 22, 1975 Thirty years have gone by in a flash. I was 20 the last time we saw each other, now I am 50, needless to say, many things have changed. Through all of the changes I haven't forgotten you. I remember in the fall how you'd help us with our projects for the science fair. I remember in the winter how you'd drag us up the hills of Central Park after we sledded down again and again. I remember in the Spring how you'd get tickets for cap day or bat day at Shea or Yankee Stadium. I remember all the summers spent on Long Beach and how you'd take us across to the pier so we could check on the killies and horseshoe crabs. I haven't forgotten you, though so much time has passed, I hope when my time comes that you haven't forgotten me. Miss You and Love You Dad EJ Published in Newsday on 7/22/2005.
