My deepest condolences on the loss of your patriarch. Growing up down the street on Bosart Rd., he was always the involved sports Dad. Had a lot of fun playing basketball on his awesome court while he encouraged us kids. May he be at peace.

After all the years of checking the college football game odds, it saddens me to know that you will no longer be calling to make your picks. As I'm sure you know, you finished one up on me (again) this season!

Mr. Randall was one of the best teachers at Starling Junior High School. I remember how kind and nice he was to all of the students in my class.
