sure if you remember me or not. It has been years
since we saw each other. I remember well when the
twins were being born; called the hospital often. My

Jack will be missed a
lot; I personally thought of him as my second dad growing up. As
a kid, I spent as much time at the Benthall's house as I did my
own.
