Keri, cute blog. I will definately add you to mine. Since we never see you guys, it will be good to see what you guys are up to.
This is a nice tribute Keri. And I am not surprised he was chosen. From what I can remember, he was very knowledgeable and friendly. And he sure has been around for a while.
Love,
Brenda
