Hey Paul-you & I were first best friends before we started @ carver.it has to be the best childhood enviroment any child could.imagined.we used our innocent imagination & before you knew it we were playing army in the corn field-sleding down korba hill-the gas station filling up our bikes with a water hose as it was gas-the make shift tv station-the baseball games,more arguing than playing-we had the swing,the neighborhood kids coming over &swinging on the rope from the plank on those warm days enjoying the breeze from the big swing.then out of nowhere-we grow up raising kids-jobs-the whole gambit.I pray for you & your family that we return back to that innocence,humblenes,&those amazing times that were so simple yet amazing security.paul-you may not be aware but you were a major part of who I am with my successes in life.my other issues is my deal-that's another story.God bless your mom-your wife & kids & of course your unforgetable siblings & next door cousins.God bless you all!
