There are to many times that Carl gave me but one of the best times is when we had our family reunion and Carl got the whole room up to dance to the song "Shout" and I remember Carl and Sandy dancing to "my girl".
Rest in peace dearest Carl. You'll be missed

A job interview. I was scared. That didn´t last long! The sacredness that isl, but the relationship lasted 46 years. Long live Carl!
