The rise and Fall of "Howie" Bloomgarden

A true crime story by alex gardega.

In high school I had a good friend and wrestling partner named jason (name changed). He had a beautiful sister in my grade that I had a major crush on. Unfortunately, she had eyes for another kid from our high school--an upper classman named Howie Bloomgarden. His dad was a rich eye surgeon and she liked money so I was out of the picture but given the fact I was friends with her brother I did get to see the sister quite often when I visited their home and we were pretty good friends----I usually kept her laughing with my crazy antics. I only knew Howie in passing and I knew he was a pretty sketchy kid. He once arranged a keg party on an island and timed it with the tide so everyone would have to leave early--he got to keep the beer and the money. He even had "muscle" guys he paid thugs in high school. In my mind he was just another spoiled Cold spring harbor kid...I never thought he was anything more than a big talker and a big mouth.

to be continued...find out how a surgeons son from a rich community winds up in prison for life (can you hardly stand the intrigue?)
