Virgil,
You and I have been fortunate because we have seen a good example of wisdom personified: Fred Kohl. I always joke with my boys that I want to be Fred Kohl when I grow up.
Mark
Yes, and we have both been treated bettter than we deserve in knowing him.
"treated better than we deserve"
Excellent. Proof that Fred's influence has rubbed off.
