Today, while waiting to pick up an order for food I'd no real interest in, I picked up a newspaper, to pass the time. Gave up reading the news, or watching it a long while back. Opened it up to the picture of Le Roy. It's been many years since I saw that face. He and my pops were close. From Evinrude to the Rumpus room. Im sure his warmth and charm will continue to be missed by many, and I'm grateful for the chance to see that winning smile once again. Freckles, Aramis and all.and to my pops who once again let me know, they who've gone beyond are never really far away...Kathleen Randolph
