Frederick Ratliff

Wow, the years seem to be flying by even faster these days, but I still remember celebrating my brother's birthday, the day after Christmas every year; sometimes, we'd even celebrate both of ours together because they were as close together as Fred and I were. Needless to say, I miss those "good ole days" and I miss my brother. Hope I'm making him proud...
