Since Shamrocks went out of business, I have thought of you often. I had many great laughs with you and Susan. You were so kind and patient with Lauren and her long Uno games. I remember the big party we had with the people from Sweden. I remember how the two of us tortured all the customers with our wits. I have a lot of wonderful memories of those times, and you'll always be a part of my life. Thanks.
