Skip: thank-you my friend.
Those of you who know me know that I can get kind of emotional. Here lately it hasn't been that way though. 3 weeks ago I lost a good friend suddenly when he suffered a stroke and 3 days later his family had to disconnect life support. 51 years old and in seemingly good health. My sister's body is having trouble accepting the archaic and disturbing treatment of chemo. And there's other things. I have not shed a tear over it all and my wife is wondering when. So today I came home from work and there was a package in the mailbox. I opened it up and here Skip sent me one of his hair stackers that I had no idea about. I don't know what came over me but for a bit - it kind of all came out. So I thank-you Skip. I know you may think it is something small but to me - it means alot. And it has already found it's place on my bench. My wife said it couldn't have come at a better time. Thank-you again my friend.
YOU are the true patriot!!!!!!!!!!!! Tom
