Thinking Back

Good Morning:

First, to the Scrocca Family, please accept my condolences.

 

Next, I never got to work with Pete.  My only encounter with Pete and his two partners was when they gave a talk to our BNDD Class 11 (Sept. - Dec. 1970) at 14th & Eye Sts, Wash. DC.  I was only 22 out of Los Angeles.  As the trio told their stories about their adventures on the streets of New York City, my eyes got bigger and bigger as I listened to each, single word in awe.  Pete was like out of a movie; exciting stuff and I was thrilled to have signed up to be with guys like him .  Pete and his two partners were referred to as the "Nairobi Trio."  I raised my hand to ask why the nickname; they smiled and divulged that it was the name of an establishment where they were known to imbibe.
