So the 1st time I see this kid I was in 3rd grade @ Andover Elementary, Andover NH. He straight up was wearing those Michael Jackson pants with a million zippers n checkered black n white vans. He was a year older in the 4th grade. I could tell by his choice of attire he wasn’t from there, but hell I had an Afro, so what the HalfWit did I know, because I originally wasn’t either.
There was this complete local NH townie kid in his class that loved to try n Bully the new kid or kids whom he thought were different in his own mind. Well Jamie’s 1st day needless to say was no different than any other out of state kids 1st day. Getting teased and picked on by NH finest. 15 years before the movie “8 seconds ” was produced Jamie gave this degenerate “3.2 seconds” n a Phil Macracken right hand fist in the facen. Never again did the failed bully mess with Jamie again. Ahh, those were the days, but after that day, not only did Jamie get respect from all the other kids. He created a new best friend in myself. Always been a go getter, but never one to mess with especially by a Complete New Hampshire HalfWit.

Ahhhh, this is written in true Jamie and Zach dialect which I always enjoyed listening to. You guys had a great friendship and shared sense of humor. There’s another story written on this web page from his time in Georgia. He and a band mate spent some time being river monsters one day……….omg, I laugh like I was there!! That is the funniest thing ever. Equally as funny as imagining him dressed in zipper pants and checkered vans! Oh, I loved him so much. My first love and heartbreak. I’m not surprised to learn of all the seemingly amazing experiences he had in this life for I remember him as highly intelligent, self-disciplined, beautiful, artistic, hilarious and fearless. Sending my love and blessings to his Family, friends and loved ones and to those whom soothed, eased and brightened his journey.
