Sweet Lucas

Posted in Memories at 1:10 pm by Jen Parente

Although I didn’t know Lucas well, I always knew how much he meant to Tarlie from the very first time I met her.

Lucas was the first member of the Harris family that I met. It was at the Broome Street apartment on his weekend visits to Manhattan from school. Geez, was that high school for him? He would be sitting on the same stinky old couch, watching the boob tube like the others sucked into whatever crap John found on TV. There were many a Friday/Saturday night that I would walk in and see Lucas sitting in the same spot with his sweet smile. Didn’t get talk to him too often on those visits but got to know him a little more through Tarlie’s stories once she settled in New York. Heard about the steamroller a number of times.

In my mind, Lucas will always have a sweet smile and a voice full of that good ol’ Southern charm 🙂

    Jen – at some point you have to get John to write about him and Lucas wrestling like crazy people.

    It was his PG year at Lawrencville in New Jersey so technically his freshman year in college.
