I am surprised that only 3 people made any comments but I guess we did pretty much isolate ourselves. I really hope that you are in rock and roll heaven-having fun. Kind of a nice thought-although I will never know that for sure. You were my last OHIO contact so it made sense to move to Florida. I will always miss you and it was so nice to see your picture again.
