5 years ago when I first joined the Light Brigade you were just about the first person to really befriend me. In that 5 years with all the conversations we have had I truly realize what a valuable friend you have become. You were the one that influenced me most to take on the managers job. Even though I have fired you twice, and you've quit on me twice you better not quit on me now, because I have other things to say & a promise to make to you about the Brigade that I can't say in a public forum. The Bible says "A friend sticks closer than a brother" In the last 5 years I can truly say I've gained another brother. See you soon Bro.
