Friends & Family Photos

 Here are some photos of my friends. Some of them you may have seen or heard of before, some you might even know. Everyone on this page are people that I know personally, have worked with or are acquainted with.

Enjoy the photos here. I’ll try to add/remove/rotate these photos approximately once a month or so. Bass Up, Yo!

Roxana Prince (21:14:45) :

Hey Renny,
I don’t know if you remember me, but I used to live in Lindsey too. I googled Lindsey Park and your site came up. At first I said “He looks familar, someone I must have grown up with.” Then when I checked out the photos of all the people from the neighborhood. WOW memeories. I lived in Bldg 4 and I was best friends with Cherice. Only about a week ago, I was telling someone about Jeff making fun of my name. When I would remind him that it had an “A” on the end. He would throw it on way after he would say “Roxane… Auh! It’s good to hear that your doing well, your brother and all those other “Players” from Lindsey. lol. I often wondered what happened to all the Lindsey Park folk. By the way, did you go to day camp with Mrs. Barbara or were you just hanging out playing handball? Take care and much love. Roxana Prince Scott Yeh, I have 5 kids!

This website seems to receive a large amount of visitors. How do you advertise it? Is it the incredible music you put out? The music gives a nice unique spin on different genres. I guess having some great music is the most important thing.
