A Little Black Boy Named Henry - My Best Friend Pt 2

I would like to think that there are many more true stories like this one and that this is not unique. One 9 year old was white and the other 9 year old boy was black. They were both raised in a military family with strict, but great fathers mothers. In the 1960s America was tearing herself apart from the Vietnam war because of the racial divide of our country. The only difference that I saw in Henry then and now is that Henry was born - "blind". We grew up together thru the 1960s. With the Cuban missile crisis, the assassinations of JFK, MLK RFK, Watching man first walk on the moon together. Henry knew from the day Neil Armstrong walked on the moon that he wanted to work for NASA. Do not forget that Henry was "blind" as a bad and could not see Armstrong walking on the moon. Henry could see volumes by just listening that was nothing by comparison of what Henry could dream with his great imagination. Our families remained in Norfolk, VA thru the 60s. Henry #39;s father decided to retire from the navy as of 1970 or so. My dad got orders for one last assignment and that meant we would be leaving Norfork. The years went by, but we kept in touch.
