Once upon a time on West End Avenue in Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn I lived next door to a really nice guy, from a great family, having the same cultural heritage as my own. His name is Neil Diamond. He was two years ahead of me in Lincoln High School, also attended NYU, was also Aquarius which meant nothing to teens in those years. In High School you dream about being special and doing something memorable. You know it and feel it. Sometimes you get luck and things turn out that way. In the year of coronavirus Neil has updated his 1969 song "Sweet Caroline" Thanks Neil.~ Ellie from the Block
