I will always cherish the most interesting stories about the many travels that Mr Reberg shared with me. He would come into my store & buy a sweater vest or 2, and on his way out the door he would say..."I´m off to my next adventure....ill see you when I return" Until we meet again Mr. Reberg, Rest in Peace sir
