Somehow, I feel a connection to this young soul, and the man, other than blood [my grampa, and Luke's great-gramma were brother and sister]. Obviously, this young man grew and thrived during my own extended absence from the Bynum community. I regret not getting to know him more.
Go with GOD, Luke, {Prayer}

PS: Since I am not a betting man, I'd almost bet that Luke learned to dance at the Bynum School. ;<)
