Wow. Four years. I think of you often and especially when I run the Camaro. The silly kids that we were are a treasured memory that I will never forget. I was looking at some old 8mm films just the other day. Heh. I'll block, you run. You could run like no one I have seen before or since. What a fantastic athlete.

He was a superb athlete, good at every thing he did. He would win the first game or two, but would ALWAYS let you win the last game or two. Just to let...
