Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 76 | Danny, you and your family are never far from my thoughts.
Have not been posting lately, Dan lost his job after 15 years, new management, they got rid of all managers. Well needless to say he had a hard time finding a job, he thinks people discriminate when they look at him, which I am sure they do. He finally found a job, but it has stinky insurance, which is not good......I keep telling myself that we are the lucky ones right now. He is alive and doing well (knock on wood)
I think about you all the time Danny, I hope you are feeling strong. I just wanted to say hi and let your know we are thinking of you always.
