Caren ,Drew,Vicky and Keith and your families how sad it was to hear about Andy . Andy was the first "Watson" I met along time ago at Lynnville he was having a good time dancing. He was always very nice and would talk to you even if he didn't know you.. I think New Tripoli/Lynnville is a little less bright without Andy Watson in it. Love to you all during this difficult time.
