SPADE... Halloween 1988

photo by Charles Steck

Spade lived in a group house on my block

this is not the Spade that I knew
well... it is the same Spade 
only a much younger Spade
this photo is of a younger Spade

funny though
more than likely Spade and I stood in the same room at the same time many times over the years
only Spade stood with an older cooler crowd

DC Space... 930... Fox and Hounds... then onto State of the Union and who knows where else...
I just knew Spade from the day to day interactions
our frequent passings on the sidewalk

Spade dressed pretty much like this everyday
Spades maintained his sense of style

RIP Spade
Spade died a few weeks ago this April 2013
