I loved loved your list, and echoo lulu - 86 is the best. God I loved it.
That was fantastic! I learned so much. Not to be redundant, but I almost died at #86. Awesome!
The Luke story is very cool. It's always interesting to see how those important relationships evolve.
Yes, in my sister's toast at my wedding she mentioned #86...how often are the names Amy Fischer & Joey Buttafuocco in a wedding toast? Our neighborhood was awesome, oh the stories. My parents were fun! I'm going to finish the list this morning.
