SOAP OPERAS

To get to Boston Latin High School I had to take a bus to Broadway Sta., the subway Red Line to Park Street then a Green Line Trolley. It was a chore just getting to school on time. During those trips I noticed another Southie native boarding the bus and getting off at Latin. Although not in the same class room he also was just starting at the school. I later found out we were only born 3 days apart. Sometime around our second year he announced he was transferring to Boston English. Since English was right across the street from Latin at that time, we still commuted together. I lost track of him after high school until one day reading the Boston globe there was a featured article about him. Apparently he ha d gone to Hollywood to appear in several movies (minor parts), then return to New York for long turn major roles in the TV “Soaps”. Maybe you saw Joe Gallison as Dr. Neil Curtis in the Days of Our Lives or Tom Edwards in One Life to Live. Another Southie Lad made good.
