Brian,
I am so sorry to learn about your dad and brother’s passing. Your dad and mom were such wonderful folks. Many times we sat on your front porch with your mom making tea for us.
I only met Harley a few times, but, he was always pleasant.
Please know you are in my thoughts. I have not seen you since dropping a plant off on your front step…during Covid hibernation.
Please take care of yourself. Always a friend, Linda Bauer
