No, Not That John Lester



I forgot about this story that sort of had a French era Connection. From Joe:
THERE WAS ANOTHER INCIDENT IN THE MID 70'S. I CAN MENTION NAMES BECAUSE THE GUY INVOLVED JUST DIED. HIS NAME WAS JOHNNY LESTER. HANDSOME KID ABOUT A YEAR, OR TWO YOUNGER THAN ME, MOVIE STAR HANDSOME. HE WAS A HUSKY IRISH KID WITH BLOND HAIR AND BLUE/GREEN  EYES. ALWAYS IN TROUBLE. SPENT MORE THAN HALF HIS LIFE IN JAIL. IN THE EARLY 70'S, HE WAS MARRIED TO AN ITALIAN GIRL. ONE DAY LESTER"S WIFE WAS IN CHERRY STREET PARK NEAR MARKET STREET. A COUPLE OF PUERTO RICAN GUYS WALKED BY AND MADE LEWD REMARKS TO HER AND HER GIRLFRIENDS. SHE DID THE WORST THING SHE COULD DO. SHE WENT TO HER APARTMENT IN KV AND TOLD JOHNNY. JOHNNY CAME DOWN AND THE PUERTO RICANS WERE STILL AROUND. HE HAD A BASEBALL BAT AND HIT THE ONE WHO MADE THE LEWD REMARKS TO HIS WIFE IN THE HEAD. THE GUY DIED.
