The Fletcher family and the Stamper family grew up together, each having kids approx. the same age. Each of our youngest was freckled and red haired. We shared many happy events together at the lake, at Christmas time and many more. Brent was a ham-I remember his agility on the trampoline-always making us laugh. Let´s remember those happy times!

Brent was one of the nicest customers that frequented Walgreens when I worked there. We always spoke about what latest movie he had gone to see or planning to see, he told me about his cat and we talked about his jobs at Kmart & Perkins. I always enjoyed seeing his friendly face when he´d come in before and after his work shift.
