Had a strange feeling when mom and I
stopped in to visit with flowers for you and my dad. Then went to Ringers for dinner and saw Tim Walls, Paul Marth and a bunch of your friends. Paul Marth Birthday today so I
bought them all a birthday beverage from you like you would have. Enjoy your Miller-lite.
It was great seeing your buds and reminiscing with them about you. Then I recalled the strange feeling
earlier and understood you were there with us and why we headed to Ringers for comfort to be with your friends. One of the girls said she has a daughter in Taylor's 5th grade class.
God works in strange ways.

Another Thanksgiving morning visit to Club V to see old friends. I know we enjoyed the bloody mary's and miller-lites. Old
competitor Mike Cerimemlie remembered how
good a pitcher and hitter you were when you played each other. He went on to be a decent fullback at Penn State. Jim Morgans
spoke of you about the times you were dating his daughter. Jim and I played against each other in high school. Your
exploits at KSU were relived by your buddies. Could see your half smile that
said 'yah we had some fun'
Stuff is packed for hunting camp and you
will be with me. Looking at the many stars
at night, you will shoot one by to tell me your close. Thanks miss you kid.
