You have been a good friend for many, many years. Starting back when we were little kids and our DADs would quail hunt all day long leaving us to play in the barn and ride horses, something we thought they new nothing about. Our days in high school, years in the Army, and life in general, all coming back to me now. May God rest your soul, you deserve it Mike.
