Both Kris & I are very happy for you, actually I shed a tear, way to go Bobby. What a coincidence, Sept 5 is the 10 year anniversary since Pope John Paul 2 blessed the Torch. We are carrying it that day in Nicholas Green’s memory, his dad will be with us. Who know we might be coming by, hope we can, love you, give a big hug to Robert
