In memory of Biff Cook, my college room mate. April 9, 1949 - June 21, 2011. Biff was a surgeon in Longview, Texas. He leaves behind his loving wife Suzanne, four children and two grandchildren. His memory will live on in our hearts.

Basketball in Vernon

Had an opportunity this week to take in a couple of Basketball games. Action was good, athletes were very talented. Amazes me how much faster the game is than when I was in high school. Someone told me it is because the shoes are so much better now. Hmmm??
