Hello Aunt Dottie and cousins, Paul, Mark, and Dennis...I thought I might tell you of the time when Uncle Matt came over to our house on Maple St. after I won a Honda mini bike when I was 16 or 17...He came over to try out the mini bike and lost control of it and banged it up. Of course this does not matter but at the time I was devastated. Uncle Matt was always such a great guy as I remember...I think of your family often and hope everyone else is doing okay.
