Jimmie, I will always cherish the talks we had about our family. I’ll remember the fun you and I had, trying to sing our duets. Don’t get me wrong we were good. I also appreciate the closeness we had with each other as well as all our family members. What a BIG family we (McIntyres) shared. All you young family members, I hope you are reading this!
