Remember Freddie? The red-haired, retarded kid who used to ride his bike around the neighborhood incessantly during the early days. He seems to have disappeared, at some point. He lived down Franklin Street down around where Doof & Dink lived ...
Anyone know what became of the lad?

Richie,
I remember him well but, I thought his name was Stuie? Either way I have no idea what became of him, I just remember how he loved his radio. Bean

| He's the CEO of a Fortune 500 company and married to a former Victoria's Secret model. Or at least that's what I heard... |

Rich & Bean,
In regards to your questions about the red-haired kid
on the bicycle he can only be the one & only Stuart Tanner,
the son of a Mr.&Mrs. Murray Tanner. Stuie lived next
door to Butch. As I remember him Stuie was about 28 or
30 at the time and severely retarded. He would ride
everywhere on his bike;I had seen him on Merrick Rd,
Sunrise Hwy, in Elmont, Rosedale, just everywhere with
his little transitor radio dangling from his handlebars
and humming the tunes. I don't think he every really
knew where he was or where he was going ( does any of
us?), must have been instinct that brought him home.
Poor guy. On special days we could coax him into singing
some Beatle tunes for us ( Stuie loved the Beatles )
his favorite was "She Loves You", Stuie loved the
"YEAH YEAH YEAH" part, he would sing it in a mumbled
drawl and we would just pee our pants. We never really
made fun of Stuie we just enjoyed him when we could.
We loved him and some how he knew it, he always felt
comfortable with us.
Speaking of Stuie reminds me of a few other "Tanner"
stories, I don't know what we had against the Tanner's
we just liked to drive ol Murray crazy. We would
"bomb" his house with crabapples in crabapple season
( when is that anyhow? ) just because the apples where
there and he was too. Scores of crabapples pounding
his roof at all hours of the night. Oh? what a
thunderous tumult that racked his roof! There was a
great deal of us in on it-lets see me,Butch,Doc,Babyfats,
Benny,and a few others I could ignominiously mention
here but I will not for fear they will be brought before
the court of conscience. Murray didn't like crabapple
season. In the winter he would shovel his walk and drive-
way so he could get out in the morning but we would
"wall" his vehicle in with snow that would freeze
overnight and he couldn't get out. I remember me
and Butch would recover his walk after he shoveled
then knock on his door and offer to shovel his walk
for payment. He did many times. But Murray got us back
on that one for lo and behold Murray's little girl Lorrie
blossomed into quite a young lady, then Butch and I
would offer to shovel his walk for nothing knowing Lorrie
would always come out and "help" us. 
Oh, well all's well that ends well. Murray got many
shovelings for nothing and Butch and I were entertained
by Lorrie. What's wrong with that?

Dinkmeister,
Believe it or not Stewie was only two or three years older than us. He was in the public school two years ahead of us before they sent him to BOCES. AS for the poor Tanners....I recall a twisted misguided adolescent justice being served. Every time we perceived an injustice being done towards Stewie by his parents we punished his parents. Handfull after handful of crabapples one after the other in sequence. The barage sometimes was four or five minutes of continous noise. That's what I heard anyway. I never actually took part.
"Schaeffer is the...one beer to have, when your having more than one....." Stewies favorite song.
