Craig and I were at the Cole reunion at the park in Martinsville. Cale was only a month or two old because aunt Yvonne couldnt keep her hands off of him:) My Craig and George buddied up to each other that day:) Uncle Tony was cooking hamburgers and set the box they were in on fire but didnt notice. Craig asked George if he should say something:) George said,”No, lets just see how this plays out!:)” Craig and I laugh about that to this day!!!:) I loved his sense of humor!!!!
Georgia and I drove cares together, what time we had, his speed was SLOW, I loved it.
