Jack Farley was a neighbor in Massapequa, Long Island when I was in junior high and high school. Three years older than me he was a local hero as captain of the lacrosse team - as he was in college. I went to Holy Cross College because I admired him and two guys - stars on the track team at Brooklyn Prep.
