Posted for: BURL DENTON HEWITT:
It's weird seeing "Burl" as your name, as I knew you as Denny. Being we were both from Ohio, a closer bond was formed. You were a excellent RTO. In those mountains and jungles' we confided. You were going to get a 68 Red Corvette convertible to cruise the Newport, Marietta areas when you got home. As time dictated, I had the ability to buy a 70 Corvette. In the showroom was your Red convertible. In remembrance to you, I passed on it as it was yours, and only yours. Since then I have never looked at a Red Corvette convertible as a Red Corvette convertible. You would have looked grand behind the wheel. If you could have seen me cruisin the strip in Youngstown, I was the guy in the Donnybrook Green Coupe.

I miss you Burl, "Denny"....God Bless. As Louis Armstrong continues to sing ...."What A Wonderful World", because of You, and many like you. I truly don't embrace or want to understand the justification.
