Too bad my partner Clercy "Peter" Moore who had a law degree from USC, but worked in the recycling industry was killed right after I left Los Angeles. Peter had just won a $10 million contract to setup recycling in the Staple Center. It still makes me wonder by winning that recycling contract is what got Peter killed. I still remember when I first moved to Los Angeles. Through Reggie Short and Associates, a minority owned firm, Peter was a contract employee in my department. Peter, myself, and another brother who graduated from Langston University who also worked for Reggie Short were the only three brothers working in the main office in City Hall East. One evening after work, Peter had arranged for the three of us and our spouses to drive and chaperone a few teenagers to Disneyland. We all met up at Reggie Short's office. I was completely unaware that one of the teens were Lark Voorhies who was a cute and popular teen star on the Saturday Morning Show "Save By the Bell". I believe Lark's mother was dating Reggie Short. For whatever reason, Lark jumped in the car with me and my wife. She stayed real closed to us while we were at Disneyland. I didn't realize how popular she was until people started asking her for an autograph as we stood in the line to ride the different rides. Peter was my inside connection to what was going on in Los Angeles, but my buddy who's an architect and a Kappa was somewhat plugged in too. I somewhat really do miss Los Angeles just because of those reasons. My uncle, who was good friends with Mayor Tom Bradley has long passed away. Also, at one time, my uncle who was originally from New Orleans was the only Black license electrician in Los Angeles.
