Did anybody go to that reunion last week? It was at Reale's I think. There was a story in the NE Times about it being a benifit for the VFW or American Legion on Rockland st. Steve Sharkey had something to do with it. It was sort of Inky-oriented.

I also know Nicky Padulese and family. It's been a long time since I seen Nicky. I heard he was doing tattoos in Bristol, PA I don't believe I have seen him since POP's on Rhwan & Frankford.

Yes, that is us in the Bulletin. How funny that you found that. How did you find that? I can't open the link I get page can not be displayed. I do have a copy of that paper when I had my 15 seconds of fame.

Those were the days when you could go to pennypack park and sit on the rocks without a care in the world! Do I know you?

No, I don't know you or your family. Some things just stick in the mind. I remembered the name from the photo which I thought was so americana and well composed, it is one of those photos that you know has a story with it. When I was going thru the Olney thread (Inky boy myself) the name clicked and I went back thru my web history and voila! Pure luck. Here is the original site address I was at, I just put Olney in the search box.

Good luck.

Did Inky Yard King/Hero Georgie Patricks really kill a cop and get away with it back in the day? I always heard that one but never knew whether to believe it or not.

Did youse really hang in the church school yard? If so, why didn't the church ever kick youse out given the activity and reputation?

nah, was probably just a rumor!

George Patrick never killed anyone! Especially a cop! It's crazy how stories get twisted...I keep in touch with George since he lives close by. He's definitely a soldier from Inky Yard. He had his troubles in the past, but now he's got a nice lady, that I set him up with, and he's doing well. He's doing the domestic thing with her and 3 children, (2) dogs. He's been out for close to 4 years now and no trouble, no parole! Still in great shape, lifting weights and eating healthy. I believe he's retired from that way of life now... I hope that answers your question, CITYMAN???

Thanks. Obviously a rumor started by one of the victims. That clears it up.

One last story: once we went down the 5th & winghocking for nick bags and we drove up 3rd and parked near Sommerville. As we were rolling it up, the group at Delphine were looking at us from a block away and having a conference on what to do. Finally, they sent a sentry - some little guy with long blonde hair. The dude comes up carrying a stick, and asked where we were from and can we sell him a doob. We told him no.

Is the golden lion still in existence?
