Lee, you always made me feel a part of your wonderful family. I still treasure those days when Kelli and I would be up early to go skiing or to some school function and you'd be up before us... making those wonderful pecan pancakes. I've tried to duplicate them for my family... they just aren't the same. And don't laugh too hard at my golf swing when you're up there looking down.
