Was Damone from New Jersey?


What's his back story? He has a Jersey accent. Did he move out to California when his mother got relocated by her company to manage a restaurant? Did he try to join a dojo but got stink eyed out of it by the ex-VietNam vet instructor?

Damone was from Philadelphia.

If you have read the book (which is rather hard to find), Damone is from Philadelphia and moved over from there just before summer holidays. He befriend Mark Ratner while they were working a summer job.

That's why Damone "The Cool Guy" is friend's with a somewhat geeky kid.
