Nicely said John. I forgot all about the afternoon soccer games. That was the best. I do remember him challenging us to lunch time basketball games for an ice cream. He was the best teacher ever.
I just wanted to say what a great time I had with all of you. I loved how there was no negativity from anyone and all was just happy to be there and hang out. Thanks to all of you for making my weekend memorable. I look forward to seeing you all very soon! Stacy
