We were friends from the time we met as 5 year olds in kindergarten. We spent so many hours watching Washington football games as we both were big fans. I remember watching their last Super Bowl appearance with you in 1992. I’ve been thinking about you recently as they are finally close again. You would have loved it. Miss you.
