We became friends in kindergarten. The first time I ever had black coffee, Mr. Carter had taken Jimmy and I fishing. It was a cold morning, Mrs. Carter had sent along black coffee and baloney sandwichs...one of the best meals I ever had. At least I know when I get to Heaven I won't have to scout for a place to fish. I can just find Jimmy.
G-d bless you, my friend.
