2. This guy is a perv. Seriously. The place where I grew up was "next door" to his outside Philly, PA and he is friends with my mother. He'd come by and hold me or my sister and pet our long blonde hair. Had a thing for blondes evidently.

3. It be true, black don't crack.

I remember being tiny and dancing on my Daddy's shoes...doing the "twist". Good times. Ugh....I miss my Daddy. He be dead but not forgotten. I still and always will love my Daddy.

Did I mention I was a Daddy's girl.

5. re: Rynne - Was thier any sexual contact between the two of you. Do you have any proof or witnesses ? Did your Parents feel his interactions with you where inappropriate in any manner and demand he leave you and your residence because of it ?

11. That's weird comment 2- I lived 2 houses down from this guy in Paoli, PA. Were we neighbors? Maybe we were friends back in the day. Never had any perv experiences with him to speak of... he was a good neighbor.

12. How strange-- I grew up in Paoli, too and while I never met the man, friends of mine used to babysit for him and always said he was very nice.
