That is a heart warming story. I hope you have a wonderful time and get to know your old buddy's son and his family. Nothing warms the heart like making a connection with the past. That is why I love this PLACE so much...just wish more of our buddies MV or otherwise would join in a little more often.
Thank you for sharing this with us. I will be thinking of you two when you meet. Wish I could be a fly on the wall and share it all - tears AND laughter.
