Thinking of, and praying for you all in wake of Sarge's passing. Willing to take me for breakfast prior to Masters and at fish camp despite the social liability of being seen with a Yankee such as myself! One thing is for sure: Uncle Larry led a rich, fulfilling life, complete with a breadth of experiences! Love you all.
