I will always remember "Uncle" Allen telling the story about sitting behind our Dad, the ink, the match, and the phrase "Smuck, you never learn!" We have it on tape and our kids remember Allen telling it, as well as their grandpa Irv telling it too. They were always great friends, and sure seemed to have fun together. I hope they are up to more shenanigans together again. Jody Cobert Berns
