Hey Owen,
Love the photos of your brother. What were your parents like. ?? I heard Al on NPR and couldn't stop laughing. Its so great to see you both are doing so well in life. Did you watch the Perry Mason shows...did you remember the "Case of the Deadly Verdict" Sotomayor couldn't remember and neither could Al. I was too young,but, I remember the music playing on the TV....
