50 yrs ago I was a 15 yr young lost teen and a friend of a friend of Rod and Jasmines, and they took me in and provided a safe place in their home downtown for a short while .
Rod was a quiet, gentle and kind soul while Jasmine was with one or 2 of you on her skirt and one in the oven. Tons of fresh fruit in the house but no sugar for you:) Her and I took the bus to Thomas Mall and if memory serves right she started labor...
15 yrs later I needed a locksmith at an apt. community I managed and called out of the phonebook and lo and behold in walked Rod.
It was so nice to see him again!
RIP Rod.
