J.B.,
I ask about you every time I see Bruce and Roy. I have fond memories of when we used to play baseball back in the early 1960s and our team, Super Duper, used to play Heflin's Restaurant at Paul Kaiser Field.
Know that you are loved and the next time I play When the Saint Go Marchin' In, it will be for you and Stephanie Spielman. My life has been blessed because I have known wonderful people.
