Nicki (Nicole Rohling) looks to be in the same boat I was and was asking others to post for me until I finally made this gmail account. I really do not like this account but I have no choice. I almost missed/overlooked Nicki's post directly to me but fortunately I did not!
Anyway, she asked me to pass along the following and I surely remember Jim Rice! But not specifics. I will have to go back in my e-mails from years ago as well as the list of quads to refresh my memory. He is/was three years older than I am. Here you go...
