Hey Fred, glad to see you’re doing OK, the goatee looks good. Yeah, your mom was a nice lady, and your dad was quite a character. I remember when he used to play banjo, How he loved to watch Hee haw on TV and of course Johnny Cash. Too bad they tore that house down, it was a cool little house. And I remember the dark room you made out in the garage. Is your sister still living up in Cayucos or thereabouts? Did you ever get married? Do you ever see any of the old gang from high school? I am living up here in Oregon, not bad, although it rains a lot. Good luck now and in the future, regards, Jeff Bell
