What a Gift he gave!

Legend of the Fearsome Five

The Story of Undying Friendship by Jim Henderson, Bob Jansen, Pat Kelly, Andy O’Shea   It is amazing that the friendships we cultivate in our youth require so little sustenance throughout our lives.  Brief encounters as we separately wind our way through life serve as periodic reminders of our earlier days together and the incredible strength […]
