And now, I'm 73. Keeping my eyes on the prize. I'm glad to hear Jim is back in his office.

First when he was 53, second he was in his mid-70s. Made it to almost 86 when he got that awful flu that was going around last winter and it turned to pneumonia. Hang in there! I figure he had 33 years he wouldn’t have had.

We've been through it, twice. It's hard. But know your fellow DU'ers are always here for you.
