Rodney was a schoolmate of mine. He and I were artists. He was truly gifted as an artist; when we were given an assignment in class he was the first one done and he always got an A - he was unbelievable. He loved making models of cars, any kind of art work, and girls. We liked school so much we went all year ... summer school wasn't so hot but we got to meet girls from other communities. Rodney was the first person I knew with a brand new motorcycle, a 250cc Honda Scrambler, he rode with me every time I fired up my Harley. We miss ya, brother. We could sure use your art work on our bikes. You are not forgotten.
