I am sorry for your loss of Kent. Our paths have not crossed for many years since we were kids living across the alley from you. I remember playing in the cars and tractors in the fort! I also remember having mirror fights in the sun, and Lloyd getting cut out from the tractor wheel spokes! My thoughts are with you all at this time of sorrow.
