And like Ginger, I have a story of a Cubits/ATP garden friend that came to the hospital in Salem, OR the day I almost lost Cliff. Kin (floraSeeker_OR), the first time we had met in person. He sat with me the entire time of the surgery, a young giant of a man with a very tender heart. I will never forget him and his kindness.
David I agree with you about friends in grade school. I think many of use would have been wonderful friends in our early life.
