Yes Debbie - Shoe is a dear friend of Hank (dh) and I.
We live 3 hours apart so we don't get to see each other as often as we'd like but we email, text, phone. Hank was on the phone a couple weeks ago with Shoe but I didn't get a chance to talk to him as Hank was on cell and land line rang so......
Shoe is one of the most wonderful, kind, unique individuals you will ever meet.
