Meet Marc Taylor (left) and Mark Radtke (right). In these pictures they were about 2 1/2.
Karen and David Taylor moved into the house across the street from us a few months after we did in the Spring of 1973.
I never really knew Karen until we both had boys in September of 1974. We were surprised to find out that we both named them Mark, although her son was Marc.
They became best friends and we eventually referred to them as Taylor and Rad.
It seems incredible to me that we let them ride in the street with their Big Wheels at 2 1/2 years old. We lived on a quiet, 26 house circle, but still, 2 1/2?
When the boys were in Kindergarten, the Taylors moved to North Carolina. I really missed them, although they did come back at least once a year to visit family and we would always get together. Visits are infrequent now that their parents are gone, but at least we have Facebook to keep in touch.
