Dropping in
Haven't been around for a while. I was in the hospital for 10 days and had a 3 hour surgery on my lung. Was hit hard with an aggressive bacterial pneumonia unexpectedly. I am on the road to recovery and it will take some time to regain my strength, but I am blessed to still be with you.
On another note, I am proud to announce that my grandson, Jacob Brown will be a Duke this fall. It has always been his dream and I am so happy for him. I think he is number 23 in legacy.
Go Dukes!!!!!

Gary,
Glad to hear you are on the mend. Was just noticing you weren't around as much lately and had started to wonder. As always let me know if you need anything!

Heal up quickly G-Man. I hope you are well enough to play in the Marc Butler Memorial Duke Club golf tournament come April 21st. Of course, I always enjoy the opportunity to honor Marc. I also enjoy getting your experienced insight on the state of JMU athletics.
Early plug for the golf tournament fundraiser in Fredericksburg on Friday April 21st.

Glad to hear you are well on your way to recovery. Great news about Jacob. Who is going to be the lucky number 24 in the JMU legacy?

24 family members that went to JMU? Goodness gracious they should name a building after you for how much money you all have sent their way haha.
I'm guessing you, kids, grandkids, cousins, aunts, uncles, 2nd cousins?

It started with my Grandmother in the 1920's. Then our father was one of the first 15 men to attend Madison after WWII on the GI Bill. He met our mother there and the rest is downline. My older brother Marc (OJF) went, his wife went, I went, my ex wife went. It branches out pretty good from there. I think, but I am not positive that Jacob is number 23. Need to put it to paper to verify.
