I remember spending lots of time at the Adams house during my High School days. The reason I did so, in addition to Dave being a best friend, was that there was always a ton of laughter going on there. Card playing with cheatin Chuck, you had to keep one eye on him, mean Jean always trying to feed you and always lots of love in that household. Great memories for me. I’m sorry I won’t be able to attend Charlie’s service, Ben is graduating from High School on the afternoon of the memorial. I will thinking of all of you.
