Just finished Old School and absolutely loved it! A classic in the GK late 90s fashion. A mix of No More Dead Dogs, The Twinkie Squad, and Schooled. Incredible book.

Question: Do we ever get Archie's last name? Because if you have an old geezer named Archie in a book where the FBI shows up.... One wonders if it isn't Geller.

Hi, Asher,

Good to hear from you. Archie obviously didn't get a last name, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been Geller. That was Artie.

REALLY glad to get your good review of OLD SCHOOL. I hopeyou'll join the Book Club whch should be getting under way very soon. -----Gord-----

Gord, I just finished reading OLD SCHOOL today. It was so AWESOME! Thank you so much for making Archie a character. The story wouldn’t have been complete without him and Ronny. You know, this story really made me want to hang out with the senior citizens in the community near my house. It was just that good. I could wax poetic about how excellent Archie was, with his boxing power and his fighting skills. His attitude, “my way or the highway”, his loud presence and voice. Thank you!
