Hello all from real-life Vern (Verno) from 1986 movie "Stand By Me" ... Stephen and I had every High School class together for all 4 years, except just Driver's Ed plus one other.... He wrote two books during High School but never said a word about writing,,, I guess it was more a hobby, back then...... We walked home from High School on the railroad tracks often together,,,,,, I had the striped shirt and pants like Vern did....
