Those seven willcompete in a single scratch gamewith the high score taking theone million dollar top prize.

All 2,500bowlers have an equal chance towin a million dollars.”

SANTA FE SPRINGS–Donald Pulliam hadn’t hadmuch luck in the ABTA until thisSaturday when he put it together,and bowled awesome, winningfive straight matches in the top16 single elim finals finallydowning Manny La Guardia inthe title game to take home thecrown to Encinitas. Donald whodrives for Fed EX, deliveredhimself a nice package at Pre-miere, namely an ABTA Titleand $1,000 in Cash.

The turnout was on thelighter side this week at Pre-miere due to Vegas Sweepersand League roll offs etc. We stillhad a decent turnout of 162 en-trants and saw 43 bowlers returnto the Semifinals. The cut wasMen +59 Ladies +23 and superseniors added to the Semis. Theywere Cliff La Pointe, and RicoCayton. There were no SuperSenior Ladies added as eachSenior had made the board thisweek. Ready and eager, thesemifinalists took to the floor inthe Semis with the hopes ofmaking the top 16 single elimfinals.

Leading the Semis was thepride of Murrieta, Manny LaGuardia who blasted a huge+149 to be top seed and sit outto bowl for the title. Runner upin the semis was Eric Pham at+128 who would receive a firstround bye and enter in roundtwo.

The top sixteen took to thelanes. Losing in the first roundwere Dan Stoles, Vic Arteaga,Conrado Amado, FreddieGalvan and Gil Potempo, andthey cashed in 10-16th place and$100 each.

In round two we had Phamenter the field to down HeatherHoang in a big way 269-203.Romy Bautista bested RichRamirez 231-200, Joe Baghdad-lian stepped up to edge RogerWrase 209-299. Donald Pulliambested fellow San Diegan Chris-tine Smith in a good one 235-224. Losers in round two cashedin at $105 in 6-9th places.

Round three had Pulliambest a tapped Baghdadlian 225-188, and Pham blasted to a 241-189 win over Bautista. Joe andRomy were 4th and 5th with finebowling with Donald and Ericto meet for the right to advanceand bowl in the title match vsLa Guardia.

This game had Eric seem tolose his shot, and Donald stillhad his in a big 255-188 win.With five down, a strugglingEric, one of the nicer guysaround, was third at Premierewith fine bowling. Donald wasoff to the title game vs Manny.

The Title game was set andboth men are ABTA regulars,and supporters, Donald going

Pulliam Delivers ABTA Win at PremiereMatch Series est $1,400 3-6-9 is $1,500

Special Early Event, Mothers Day Special at Chaparral Saturdayfor his first win and Manny wonlast June so he would be goingfor title #2

The title game was on andManny decided to lead off. Hedid in a bad way, an open, andDonald spared and opened.Manny then had a resoundingdouble but Donald not to be de-nied, also doubled and kept rightgoing with three more for a fivebagger to lead , but Manny againturkeyed and cut the lead to 18pins, but then opened missingthe six pin and Donald finishedwith spares and a big 259-243win and his first ABTA title.Well deserved. Great bowlingby a fine young man who finallyput it all together at Premiere!Title #2 is in his future.

Manny La Guardia bowledvery well in the runner up posi-tion as did Eric Pham in 3rd andeither could have won it all atPremiere.

ABTA Notes Tourney Hi Qualifierswere “the Iron Man” Julian Conwi withhis fine+148 and the ladies were led byHeather Hoang at +80. They get paidentries.

The optional doubles were taken bythe “Iron Man”, and Eddie Palma andtheir 1407 got them $110. We paid 6places in the doubles.

Hermie Lebaquin and JosephMicheri couldn’t eliminate one anotherin the 3-6-9 rolloff, so we are going fora tidy $1,500 in the 3-6-9 rolloff at ourMothers Day Special Early Event eventat Chaparral Lanes this Saturday.

The Match Game 3 was Matched bythree bowlers, Ross Labar, David Jones,and Sun Sundara. Their fine 168 gamegot them 1/3 of the $740 pot.

The Match Series however was Un-matched due to the 534 series drawn bythe “Ironman” so we will estimate theMatch Series at $1,450 this weekend atChaparral, for only a $2.00 entry.

The Columbia 300” ball of the weekwent to non other than Manny LaGuardia, our runnerup. He thanks ABTAsponsor Columbia 300 for the fine ball.

John Licauco thrilled the crowd withthe front 10 at Premiere. There weresome nice games there.

Manny La Guardia, a past championhails from Murietta, and used a Colum-bia Alter Ego drilled by ABTA memberJun Ayson. He is single for now andlooking. He thanks Jun for the drillingand good friends “Joltin Joe” Ico andRomy Almanzan for support.

It was awesome to have RestySanchez visit us at Premiere as he is re-covering from a mild stroke and doingvery, very well. Everyone was happy tosee him. He will be back, count on that.

Oh Happy Day!!by Ike Hildebrand

SAN DIEGO–It was just that kind of a day on March 23rd at KearnyMesa Bowl when the very capable Randy Taylor assumed the position asHead Mechanic. Not that bowling is new to Randy nor is working in thatresponsible job for he brings a world of knowledge with him;

1. Went to Mechanic School in Muskegon Michigan in19802. Head Mechanic in Lansing, Michigan 5 years3. Head Mechanic at the Amphibious Base in Coronado 5 years4. Mira Mesa Lanes 1 year5. North County Lanes 3 years6. Grove Bowl 3 years7. Parkway Bowl 10 years

And always on Brunswick Pinsetters. He also went to School when theoriginal Automatic Scoring came in. Back to school when Frame Workswere available. So when you hear the ‘BUZZ’ at KMB, It’s the machinesgoing up and down as they are suppose to.

And is he equally good at Bowling as he is at the Machines—Oh myyes, For instance….

1. PBA Member - 18 years2. Bowler of the YEAR — 2 times3. All Star Team — 11 times4. Hall of Fame for Superior Performance - In 2000

Interesting enough Randy starting bowling Right handed, switched toLeft where he Excelled, now carrying a 221 High. Everything else he doeswith his right hand.

Randy has a lovely wife, JULI, whom he has been married to a littleover a year. Also, 2 children Kenny and Kristi who are in their final years atPatrick Henry High School. They too enjoy Bowling. Kenny’s average is190, while Kristi shoots 180.

He also has a brother Russ who is two years older, lives in Temecula andaverages 210.

Other hobbies Randy enjoys is especially swimming, but also includesBaseball and Football.

Randy lost his parents at an early age so in my opinion, he’s to be ad-mired for what he’s accomplished in his life.

I say, ‘It was no ‘ILL’ wind that blew this past March as tradition wouldhave you believe, but one of happiness for KMB’s GENERAL MANAGER,JOHNNY HUMBLE and for OWNER/OPERATOR, SHERRY MOON Aswell as the rest their employees.

Stop in and say hello to our handsome Randy, who will greet you with aready smile.

PARKWAY’S LOSS IS KEARNY’S GAINWELCOME RANDY!

Tulsa Timeby Jim Goodwin

As we traveled from North Texas upthe highway toward Oklahoma, the daf-fodils and bluebonnets faded into Indianblankets and paintbrushes. Springtimein this region of our beautiful country isfragrant and colorful; an awakening thatsends the message ‘all is well’ and whenwe arrived at WIBC’s final conventionand tournament in the beautiful greenrolling hills of Tulsa, we knew that all iswell in our bowling world. Attendingboth the opening ceremony of the WIBCtournament and the convention assuredus that good times are coming for ourgame.

Indeed, one chapter of bowling’srich history is closing, but the game isstrong and vibrant, and it has a long his-tory and a solid foundation upon whichto build a brighter tomorrow.

The WIBC Convention was billedas ‘Celebrate WIBC’, and 4000 womenhad the time of their lives saying so longto WIBC and hello to USBC. Theylaughed, they cried, they sang anddanced. They hugged each other, em-braced their bountiful history, and saidcollectively, ‘bring it on’ to whatever thefuture will provide.

After seeing the emotion and hear-ing the heartfelt thanks of two youngWIBC members, WIBC PresidentSylvia Broyles said, ‘If this is an exampleof our future, we have absolutely noth-ing to worry about.” Her comment fol-lowed very poignant speeches by BevOrtner Award winner Jada Mocaby andAlberta Crowe Star of Tomorrow hon-oree Cassie Leuthold. These two youngwomen from the heartland of America(Indiana and South Dakota) were inspir-ing. They will never forget their walkdown the center isle in Tulsa, and thoseof us fortunate enough to witness it willlong remember their genuine gratitudeand pride.

Imagine being a young person infront of 4000 people for the first time.Jada handled it with good humor andwas amazingly funny and sincere – shemay have a future in public speaking.“I looked on the internet for a bowlingjoke, but I couldn’t find one. I guess noone thinks bowling is funny,” she said.

Cassie read her well thought outspeech between tears and strong wordsof thanks for family and the sport.“Bowling has given me a purpose inlife,” she said. She wants to be a prosomeday. I hope the tour returns for her,and others like her.

Many more memories of this finalWIBC celebration will stay with us fora long time – the sincere thanks fromLeanne Taylor, Mistress of Ceremoniesat the opening of the tournament atRiverlanes. Taylor, local television an-chor and a recent breast cancer survivor(she was proud to show off her new hair),thanked WIBC for its part in helping theSusan G. Komen foundation.

We’ll also remember Tulsa WBAPresident Brenda Marshall’s incredibleeffort and enthusiasm. She was the driv-ing force behind Tulsa’s bid for theevent.

Watching 4000 delegates twirl pinklight sticks in the darkened auditoriumto symbolize that there is a light of hopefor breast cancer victims was also verymoving, as was the tribute to those lostin the past year, and the presentation ofthis year’s $810,000 check to the SusanG. Komen Foundation, bringing theWIBC total for the past five years to al-most $4 million.

The final WIBC Hall of Fame cer-emony honored two outstanding women– Sylvia Broyles and Anne MarieDuggan. Broyles, the last WIBC Presi-dent, was instrumental in the creation ofthe new USBC, and Duggan, who wonher first tournament as a pro and 15 titlesduring her career, may be the most ver-satile player ever in the women’s proranks.

“Never, never, never in my wildestdreams did I ever think something likethis could happen for me,” Broyles saidin her speech. Her WIBC career hasbeen relatively short compared to otherWIBC presidents, but she had the cour-

age to change the status quo for thegreater good of the game, and her strongleadership has made bowling better. Shethanked her family for allowing her topursue her dreams for bowling, and herextended bowling family for their sup-port along the way.

Duggan also spoke of family. Shesaid she got her natural talent form hermom who was also a good bowler, andher dad made her believe in herself. “Myfather always spoke the truth, and he toldme I could be here one day, and I be-lieved him,” she said. She also thankedher husband Pat for teaching her the finerpoints of the game and for coaching her.“My father convinced me I had talent,and my husband brought it out,” she said.

The final part of the WIBC Conven-tion officially closed an 88-year historyof women’s bowling as seen through theminds and hearts of thousands who havecontributed to WIBC’s success. TheABC and WIBC flags are now retiredand the new USBC banner waves overthe game for the future. The goodbyeshave been said, the tears have been shed,and now a new era begins.

What does the future hold for ourgreat game? No one can predict exactly,but with over a century of experience asa foundation to build on, bowling’s lead-ers are prepared and willing to face allchallenges that lie ahead. Bring It On!

Round Winners Race

DOWNEY–What a difference a week makes! After seeing numer-ous 300’s and a few 800 sets rolled in the past month or so, we finally gota taste of Dry Round reality on Monday and boy did it take its toll. OnlySteve “Spare Shooter” Schroeder was able to conquer the tough condi-tions and not have an open the entire night. Even more amazing is thatSteve converted a ton of spares in rolling 194, 206, and 205 for a 605 set.Great shot making Steve! With Steve leading the way, Transcon Logis-tics was able to increase their overall lead for the #1 seed by defeatingT.D. Rowe 3 games to 1. Larry Gray pitched in with a nice 585, whileJeff Hickenbottom 596 & Derek Lee 557 paced the Rowe fo. The nextmatch had Reback’s Plumbing tripping up Pro Approach – Lakewood 3games to 1 to move into the 2nd seed position. Jason “Magilla” Carrilloled the winners with 592, while Billy Myers Jr. shot 593 to pace the ProApproach – Lakewood team.

In other action involving Round Winners, Frank “I don’t bowl” Bare-foot Jr. fired 237/217/ 621 to lead his STRIKE CONNECTION team toa 3-1 win over Al’s Bar Supply. John Mongillo 610 and Phillip LeBaquin572 were tops for Al’s, and Tony Zuniga with 577 chipped in for STRIKECONNECTION. Down on 1&2, the battle of the DEPOTS between LakeForest and West Covina fizzled out early both teams struggled all night.West Covina swept past the Lake Forest foursome 4 games to zilch withLeonard Ruiz Jr. pacing his team and the pair with 560. The Wild Cardroll-off was just that, WILD! The first game between Etonic and LinderInsurance saw Linder jump out to a 70 pin advantage after four framesonly to see Etonic come back and win by 22. The next game was evenmore exciting as anchor bowlers Nick Smith and Greg Jackson were leftto decide the game. Both bowlers threw strikes and then followed upwith brooklyns to make it a one-pin game with one shot left for each.Nick Smith went high for a 7-count split for Linders to seemingly handthe game to Greg and Etonic. However, with such dry lanes, a little lessspeed can make a huge difference and it did as Greg went wide right fora five count and a one pin victory for Linders. Linder Insurance went onto win game three and totals for a 3-1 victory. James Mowrer led Etonicwith 255/609 and Nick Smith 224/609 paced Linder Insurance.

The rest of the league went as follows: Tri Star Vending split withJ.C. Spas 2 games apiece, Family Amusement swept past BoulevardBrakes 4-0 behind the straight shooting Lee Liu 595, and Gary “no hand”Duran 575. Jason Hoppe “Go Lucky” was tops for Boulevard with 564.

Herbert Jones 244/581 led Team Storm to a split with Pro Approach-Downeywho were paced by Mike Calvillo 220/558, and Threadworks sewed up asweep of Western Pacific behind the league leading Anthony Carlton Jr.with 631. New PBA champ Vayle Floria shot 551 to lead his Royal Alli-ance team to a 3 games to 1 victory over Overboost.com who got their lonewin in game 2 behind the huge 268 game of Joe Lane. Finally, down on theend pair of 15 & 16, the seasoned veteran teams of Parke Industries andPrudential-Picarelli battled it out with Prudential pulling out a 3-1 victorybehind the consistent team effort of Everett Nishikawa 554, Bill Talbott549, and John Chapman 548. Earl Guy pace Parke with 556.

Back on the high side of the house, Freek Racing took four gamesfrom The Immel Team with Charlie Kinstler 229/614 and Chris Makroglous218/587 leading the way. Frank Bellinder was tops for The Immel Teamwith 573. George Parker with 592 led his Exacticator Vise team to a 3-1victory over Circle Athletics who were paced by Joe Miles with 560. In the“battle of the blinds”, Myke Strafford with a huge 245/581 led the way forAmerica’s Lending in sweeping Driver Insurance. Both teams bowled withtwo blind scores so it was Doubles Night at Del Rio for these two. TheHIGH side was definitely the High Side this night as 21 of 40 bowlersmanaged to break deuce for at least one game, while on the Low Side, wewatched less than 30% (17 of 60) of the bowlers reach the 200 plateau. AsI mentioned earlier, what a difference a week makes! Next week a 200game will get you nothing but ridicule as the oil will be in abundance withthe 3rd Round condition.

The side pots were obviously down from last week as the Round Twoshot awards accurate shot making compared to the strike fest we’ve beenseeing. Game 1 went to Herbert Jones with 244 with Raul “Spanky” Rosalesgarnering 2nd with a below his average 208. Game 2 went to Joe “I ownthis” Lane with a great 268 while Frank Barefoot Jr. followed for 2nd with237. Game 3 was all Mr. Lee, as Derek the D fired a nice 235 to capture the3rd game and Super Side pots for a nice $495 payoff. John Chapman was2nd with 213 and Frank Barefoot Jr. took series with 621. Steve Schroedermade $290 by merely filling all 30 frames. Congratulations to all the SidePot winners!

Next week should see much higher games, and less shiny bowling ballsso be sure to come on down and see the best bowlers in So Cal battle it out.The action starts at 9 pm next Monday at Del Rio Lanes in Downey so besure to be there. Thanks for checking in once again!

Thoughts While Waiting My Turnby Hy Skorin

IF I DIDN’T BOWL, WHAT WOULD I DOALL THE THINGS I EVER WANTED TO.I’D THINK ABOUT A FAR AWAY LAND,AND BOOK A FLIGHT TO HINDUSTAN.

THEN IF I FOUND THAT WOULDN’T DO,I’D SIGN ON A FREIGHTER TO TIMBUKTU.

I’D TAKE ALL THE FAMILY TO THE TAJ MAHAL,THEN DRESS IN HIGH STYLE, GO TO THE PRESIDENTS BALL,

AND WHILE I WAS THERE I’D SERVE IN THE SENATE,BUT NOT FOR LONG, JUST A PART TIME TENANT.I’D FLY A LEAR JET THROUGH HOWLING RAIN,

TO REACH THE EYE OF A HURRICANE.ON A HOT AIR BALLOON, I’D SOAR TO THE MOON,

GRAB THE TAIL OF A COMET, BE BACK ABOUT NOON.I’D READ A BOOK ABOUT SAILING, AND GET A NOTION

TO PADDLE A CANOE ACROSS THE INDIAN OCEAN.IF THAT DIDN’T PUT OUT THE FIRE IN MY GUT,I’D SAFARI TO EGYPT AND LOOK UP KING TUT.

I’D GO TO VEGAS, WAIT FOR THE DICE,DROP A BILL ON THE TABLE, LET IT RIDE TWICE.

NOW I’M INTO HOUSE MONEY, JUST ONE MORE SEVEN,THEIR BOUNCING AROUND, MY GOD ITS ELEVEN!

TO THE HOUSE MAN I’D TURN AND SAY WITH A GRIN,TAKE ALL OF MY CHIPS, I’M CASHING’EM IN!

AS THEY STACK UP MY WINNINGS, IT GIVES ME THE CHILLS,CAUSE ALL OF THIS MONEY WILL COVER MY BILLS!

I’D BUY SOME LAND AND PLANT A BIG FIELDAND SEE HOW MUCH IT COULD POSSIBLY YIELD.

I’D PLANT IT IN GRAINS-RYE, BARLEY, AND WHEATTHEN GRIND THEM ALL UP, MAKE GOOD THINGS TO EAT.

I’D WORK IN A LAB, FIND A CURE FOR CANCER.THEN MUSH UP NORTH AND SADDLE UP DANCER

TO PRANCE THROUGH THE NIGHT, FILL CHIMNEYS WITH TOYSFOR ALL THOSE GOOD LITTLE GIRLS AND BOYS.I’D SIGN OUT A BOOK, READ IT COVER TO COVERAND WHEN I WAS FINISHED, GO GET ANOTHER.

THEN AFTER THAT, WHEN I WAS THROUGH,I’D SAY TO MYSELF, I COULD WRITE ONE TOO.

I’D STAR IN A MOVIE, THAT WOULDN’T BE HARDAND I’D PROBABLY WIN THE ACADEMY AWARD!

I’D READ A STORY BY THE AUTHOR STUDS TERKELTHEN STEER A SUB ‘NEATH THE ANTARCTIC CIRCLE.

I’D STAR FOR THE YANKEE’S, EVERY POSITION I’D HANDLE,THEN SURELY THE FAN’S WOULD FORGET ABOUT MANTLE.

I’D DRINK ALL THE WINE I COULD POSSIBLY GUZZLE,THEN WASTE A WHOLE DAY ON A CROSSWORD PUZZLE.

AND THEN I’D WONDER IF I POSSIBLY COULD,TRY MY LUCK AT CLIMBING A GIANT REDWOOD,AND NOT MAKE A STOP, GO CLEAR TO THE TOP,

THEN WONDER HOW LONG HAS THIS MARVEL STOOD.I’D JOURNEY BACK HOME, SEE ALL THE OLD PLACES

AND THINK OF OLD FRIENDS, REMEMBER THEIR FACES.HANGTOWN IT WAS CALLED, IN AN EARLIER TIME,

AND THAT’S WHAT YOU GOT FOR COMMITTING A CRIME.ONE THING I WOULD DO, IF I MAY BE SO BOLD,

I’D MAKE IT A CRIME TO BE PUT ON HOLD!I’D RIDE WITH JOHN WAYNE ON A CATTLE DRIVE

AND THEN AFTER THAT, IF STILL ALIVE,I’D PULL SHOTGUN FOR THE PONY EXPRESS.

AND I THINK THAT WOULD DO IT, MORE OR LESS.BECAUSE I MUST TELL YOU THE UNVARNISHED TRUTH,

I HAVE SADLY AND SURELY RUN OUT OF YOUTH.ALL OF THESE THINGS I COULD NEVER ENDEAVOR

AS I SPENT ALL THOSE YEARS IN A BOWLING CENTER!BUT FALLS IN THE AIR, THE LEAVES ARE TURNING

AND I FEEL A STIRRING, THAT SAME OLD YEARNING,TO THE PRO SHOP I’D GO, CHECK THE LATEST EDITION

OF A BALL THAT HOOKS ON OILY CONDITION.I’D GET A NEW TOWEL, SHINE MY BALL REAL SLICK,

AND GET A SLID-SOCK S0 MY SHOE WOULDN’T STICK.MAKE A NOTE TO STICK BY MY EGGS IN THE MORNING

TO STOP AT THE CENTER, CHECK WHAT LEAGUES ARE FORMING.I’D PRACTICE A LITTLE, WOULDN’T DO ANY GOOD,

HECK, I CAN SHOOT 180 WITH A BALL MADE OF WOOD!ON A TEAM THEY WOULD PUT ME, AND I’D BE ANXIOUS TO SEE

WHAT A MIXED-BAG MY PARTNERS WILL BE.ONE’S A WISKERED OLD FELLOW, LOOKS OLDER THAN EARTH

AND I THINK TO MYSELF WHAT HIS VALUE IS WORTH.THEN A VERY NICE LADY, I’D SAY FIFTY OR MORE,

SHE WILL BE CAPTAIN, AND SHE WILL KEEP SCORE.NOW THE LAST ONE’S A GIRL, SHE CAUSED ME TO STARE

AT WHAT KIND OF GUNK DOES SHE PUT ON HER HAIR.I THOUGHT AND I THOUGHT, AND I HAD TO DECIDE

WHAT SHE REMINDED ME OF WAS FRANKENSTEIN’S BRIDE!SHE WORE LOW RIDER JEAN’S, SHOWED A LOT OF TATOOS,

IN HER HAND’S A SPORTS BOTTLE, LORD I HOPE ITS NOT BOOZE.WE MUST HAVE A NAME, JUST ANY WON’T DO,

I’D LIKE TO SUGGEST, “WE DON’T HAVE A CLUE.”BUT ITS ONLY NINE MONTHS, IT MAY NOT BE A BUMMER,

THEN I’LL DO IT ALL OVER, GET READY FOR SUMMER.BUT BEFORE IT STARTS, I’VE THOUGHT A LOT

AND WHY NOT I SAID, I’LL GIVE IT A SHOTTO MAKE THEM ABOLISH, CLEAR OFF THE MAP

THAT GUT WRENCHING, GOD AWFUL, TEN PIN TAP!AND SO ON AND ON, AS THE SEASON’S ROLL

IF MY BODY IS WILLING, I’LL CONTINUE TO BOWL.I’LL LACE UP MY SHOES, HUG EVERY GIRL,

SLIDE UP TO THE LINE, GIVE IT A WHIRL.IF THE DAY EVER COMES, WHEN ON A LANE I MAY DROP

LET NO ONE ASK FOR THE ACTION TO STOP.FOR I WANT TO BE HEARING, DURING MY FALL,

THE CRACK OF THE PINS AND THE ROLL OF THE BALL!BUT THERE’S ONE THING MORE, AND THEN I’M QUITE CERTAIN,

YOU CAN AT LAST RING DOWN THE CURTAIN,IS TO SEE OUR DEAR BOY, WHO GOD TOOK AWAY

FOR JUST AN HOUR, MAYBE A DAY.HE’D DRIVE UP IN HIS ‘CUDA, WALK IN THE DOOR,

AND HE’D STILL BE YOUNG, AS HE WAS BEFORE.WE’D TRY TO FILL IN THE YEAR’S IN BETWEEN,

AND HE’D TELL US OF SIGHTS THAT WE’VE NEVER SEENHE’D ASK OF OLD FRIEND’S, THE ONE’S WHO STAYED TRUE,

WE’D SAY THEY ARE QUITE WELLAND STILL THINK ABOUT YOU.

HE’D SAY HE HAD LONGED TO SEE US AGAIN,AND LONG FORGOTTEN THE PAIN HE WAS IN.

WE WOULD TALK FOR AWHILE, SOME CASUAL CHATTERBUT IT WAS PLAIN TO SEE THAT SOMETHING’S THE MATTER.

A LITTLE TEAR IN HIS EYE, AS IF HE WANTED TO SAYOH, MOM AND DAD, HOW I WISH I COULD STAY

CAUSE I MISS YOU S0 MUCH, AND I REMEMBER EACH DAYHOW YOUR LOVE WAS MY COMFORT AS I DRIFTED AWAY.

THEN HE’D TURN TO GO, AND WITH HIS LITTLE BOY SMILE,SAID, I’LL SEE YOU BOTH, IN A LITTLE WHILE.
