When my brother John was young he always had money from serving papers, golf caddy, etc. I forever hounded him for contributions to gifts for our Mother and anything else I could think of! The only thing I remember he spent more on was LPS of which he had a great collection: ELO, Boston, Crosby Stills & Nash, etc. Although I was a year older I did not follow music like he did. When I hear these oldies now I think of him. I loved him deeply but distance and life kept us apart.

 I was going to visit him and his family in the Spring of 2010 but decided to go to the Otter Banks instead. Sadly he passed away in the Spring of 2011.
