Hello, Friend
« on: June 23, 2006, 02:12:29 am »
This may be dumb, but I just thought it was a weird coincidence.

We all know and love how Jack would always call Ennis "Friend".

Do any of you remember when Bill Cosby's son was killed? Well, soon after Cosby began wearing shirts that read "Hello Friend" and the "Hello Friend Foundation" was founded; this name was chosen because that is how Cosby's son would greet everyone. Bill Cosby's son's name? Ennis.
Kinda crazy, huh? Just had to share!
Who cares where we go on this rugged old road- in a world that may say that we're wrong?

Hunh!  That is interesting.  Bill Cosby's son is the only other person I can think of named Ennis, too.

Stephanie... that is really weird. And ironic. Actually this is a beautiful parallel you have drawn here. Thank you for telling us about it. :)
