Fond Memories
As I get older I appreciate even more my childhood memories including with the Powers Family at their house in Colonial Heights and the many UVA football games we went to in the early years when we used to walk from UHall to Scott Stadium and GH would complain the entire walk! I also sometimes think I spent more time at their house than my house. Carole and GH were always so good to me back then. They are both now together in a better place and will be missed.
