It´s been years since we talked but you had lasting impressions on me. Became a member of my family and we made some awesome memories especially during football season. You me and popster watching playoffs and having fun! The dead end sign, the video cassette that ended in the tree and hung for years, all started while I was carted off at a football game. Hope you´re up there holding a football.
