OMG Glenn! I grew up practically right next door to you! I grew up just 3 hours north of you on the border of PA and NY. I visited the Amish country a couple of times and also live right next to the Susquehanna River spending a great amount of time in it or fishing in it were boating in it.
It's most certainly a small small world. Bobbie and I wanted to meet each other badly over the years but with her having some medical issues and me having some medical issues... we were not able to do that. I certainly wish we could have a big reunion of all the members here on the list! ~Lori C4/5 complete quad, going on 37 years post from a motor vehicle accident at the age of 15 in Tioga County New York.
