Dear David,Wow! What a blessing to hear from you. You have a beautiful family. I stayed single for 13 years after that ROA. I married again and have now been married for 15 years. It's like I've had 3 lifetimes! We have a 14 year old son who is now 7 inches taller than me. I had a great time in Europe, did't you go to Jamaica? What are you all doing in VA?
