Non-stop action in the Coakley household

Notice how prepared to flee the scene I was in this pic? At the time I was 7 years of age and if I wasn’t being chased by my older brothers or their friends, I was chasing them trying to be a part of the local Kristin Lane street “gang” in Fairfax Virginia.

It was a constant rumble of kids moving from one dust bowl to another trying to stay one step ahead of the law (i.e. our parents).
