Mike our paths crossed over the past many years. I grew up on Grove Ave. and I believe you lived somewhere nearby, we both went to St Pats and graduated BHS. But my biggest surprise was when I saw you again at SSVT, you on the School Comm and me a teacher there. How I wished we had sat down over a cup of coffee and talked about the good old days. Who knows maybe we will yet, God bless you and your family.
