Amateur!

Yeah.. but then we rode to the sub place where we each had a 12" steak and provolone. Then rode home just in time for dinner!

Ahh, to be 12 again.

I stand corrected!

Always loved this beautiful song. Haven't listened to it in years so took the opportunity to listen again and share.

A beautiful epitaph for a great man. Thanks for posting that, Rob.

A real personal loss for me. I knew him and know his wife, Annie. I'm of of age where he was my idol as a kid. I was very fortunate to have the chance to get to know him a little bit. In times where heroes are designated from the sport and entertainment world so often, he was a true hero and an inspiration to so many.
