So,shocked to hear of Craigs passing, to young! I can remember when we were really young, he would bring his model cars to my parents house, and we would crash our models together, and then take matches and light them on fire, as if they caught on fire in a car accident. Boy, were my folks mad, trying to scrape the melted plastic off the front walkway, just an old memory of crazy things we did.
