Judy,
Next time you talk to Misty, ask her about that little guy Arnold she
took in for a summer. I have often thought about him and hoped life got
better for him. Gosh, he'd be all grown up now. . .

Oh yeah. . . Let's all learn to ride from an Icelander and take 100 steps

I may not have perfect form or perfect equitation. But at least I KNOW it.
