Hey man. Still think about you every day. I retired on July 4th last year. Only thing missing was you and the guys. Can’t believe its been so long. Feels like yesterday we were sitting on County Line at Clark waiting for someone to run. You know after you passed I never sat there again. Drove by, but never stopped. Whole area is totally different.

Anyway, Nebel and I were talking about you and I wanted to drop a line to you.

Tell the rest of the guys I said “hi”. If you bump into my dad tell him I love him, and his granddaughter is getting married to a good man.

Stay frosty man.
