LOL ... this boy is Alex, my youngest grandson ... the girl is Rachel ... she is the youngest grandaughter of a friend I hadn't seen in about 40 years (40 years ago, this guy (Harry) and I were inseparable - then he quit school and went his own way.. this past year, his wife hunted me down (Unbeknowns to Harry ... and invited Gloria and I over for dinner on Harry's BD ... we took Alex with us and had a fabulous day of getting to know one another again. during the course of the day , Alex and Rachel got on like they had known each other forever ... and I followed them around quite a bit in the hopes of getting a nice shot of the two of them .... and lo and behold .. I got the grab shot of a life time ... LOLSteve #3717015
