I hope some one learned to make homemade wine as good ! A quick story, me ,Johnny & Danny were working on a job, David was working on the dozer on 190 or chasing Melanie we still don't know, any way something went wrong on the job and Danny was almost singing in Italian, it sounded like opera to me. I asked Johnny what he was singing and he translated for me, it wasn't opera! We'll miss them all.
Love, Jon & Jean
