NOTES
Dave Bosse's brother, Danny became a priest (Gordy Morse).
Sandy noted that her mother did not accept Dave because he was not Jewish and when she was invited to a Prom by Dave, Natey Freedman picked her up wearing sneakers and jeans and her mother exclaimed . "He's going to a Prom in sneakers and jeans?" Then Natey took her over to Dave's.
Merv remembers that Dave was an Old Gold chain smoker. He would have a cigarette the moment he got up in the AM. Dave was a good, loyal friend.

Butch Dennis: Dave played football for Hyde Park High (QB or RB). The reason Dave didn't play many sports was he had a trick knee that would lock up on him. I would kid him about the Hyde Park High School colors (black and blue).
We went to see the South Boston High School (Shamrocks) play the East Boston High School(Chipawarriors). -- The Irish against the Italians---The city of Boston wouldn't let these two teams play in George White Staduim after they had a big fight and the stands from both sides emptied into the field and fought. So they let them play in an old football field that had no stands or dressing rooms. At kickoff, the ball went down the field and the two teams started to fight. Dave was on crutches and boy did we leave that field fast. The Boston cops did nothing but watch. Dave was a good person. Nate you should have worn a tie with your sneakers and jeans.
