“The story starts out with two kids who grew up in different parts of town. They were friends on the same baseball team. One grew up to be an attorney. The other grew up to be a mobster.

I grew up in a small town in the eastern United States. The friends I went to high school with ended up okay. Noone turned out to be a mobster, to my knowledge. I have one brother remaining. He’s 7 years my senior. I idolized him. We had some of the same teachers in high school. For a while, I was known as ‘someone’s brother’. But, it was advantageous. Finding some of his old homework, his old biology diagrams that he traced seven years prior. Saved me a lot of time.”
