You would be shocked if I told you all the things the kids on 202 did when we were growing up. Nothing criminal or really bad, just fun . Days spent on the creek and barn lofts, playing ball,catching the school bus,and just loving each other like brothers and sisters. Love him, miss him,but he is safe now and we will all be together again. GODSPEED DUCK
