07.20.11 - THE DAY OF DAYS

 I got the call that the boys were all meeting for a skate session. I dropped everything, grabbed my family, skateboard and camera, and headed to the pool.

 I grew up skating contests with all these guys back in the late ’70s. We were all on the scene. 

 It had been almost 30 years since we all skated together, so this was a moment in time that I was not going to miss. Anybody who knows what skateboarding is will understand that this was a great day to remember.

 Here are some photos from that epic day.
