I was able to meet Christopher when I started going to Rawlins for our clinic down there. I have never met someone more full of life and happiness. He brought me this jacket to his appt one day, and I will forever cherish it! So thankful I was able to have Chris in my life for the last year!

I loved it when HeBabA would to go to Island Park bandshell, in his overalls and his Dayton Daily News carrier bag, to yell out the name of the band repeatedly. He sure was fun to be around.
