I haven’t been to LC a lot lately. Next time I am there I will stop and read to you. I was just thinking of you after I heard the news about Tony in Jasper. Just flashed back to that night and driving by the site daily. I haven’t been on that road in many years. Everyone misses you so much. I know you already know all of this but just wanted to talk to you here. 629 keep watching over everyone.
