My bother lost 14 bikes of mine when I was in high school. There was allways one of three reason. 1. A friend needed to use it to get to work, or go to visit his mother. 2. I just left it at a friends house. 3. The bike was stolen when I went in the water. The one thing about Don, was that he did not get upset with small stuff. He would say it's ok or it's no problem, lets enjoy now! I know that he is now ridding one of those bikes along the Stand in Heaven. As come up to my 50th brithday I will be more like him and enjoy this moment.
LOVE PAULA
