I "DIDN'T drop the ball this past week..... January 10th IS Tony Bennetti's Birthday (Not Jan 2nd)

So I jumped the gun and thought Jan 2nd was Tony Bennetti's Birthday .... Tony Bennetti has his day on Jan 10th so my brain must have been a bit fried to remember it as the 2nd! It is now added to the list Tony!! Wish Tony a very very Happy Birthday on his Facebook page.     PS.... Great family picture!!

Something to tug on our sentiments from Jim Flick

In 2006 Jim Flick wrote this tribute to Frank Samson ..... it is well worth your reading....  Jim left this message at the Vietnam Memorial Wall and it remains a permanent part of the Memorial collection......Thanks to Jim for this lasting tribute.  Sadly we lost Jim as well in Sept 2012.  ...Thank you both to Peter Boero and Lary Henkel for passing this information on to us. This class has incredible stories to tell.... Please tell us yours!   I will post the graduation pic of Jim Flick soon.  I am in Washington for the week and my yearbook pics are back at home.  If anyone can send me Jim Flick's photo, please do!
