BJ, I miss you terribly, especially since you deserted Arizona for Iowa. You are remembered by many Jo City residents and especially me for our tennis matches. And I apologize for beating you in tennis on your birthday (she never forgot that). Rest in Peace and know that I will be thinking of you until the end, then maybe another tennis match on your birthday (which I won't beat you)...Love, Rae
