Brad went to school with David and Andrew. They attended St. Andrew's Episcopal School from the 7th to the 12th grades. They played together on the school teams. Brad and David ran cross country in the fall when Andrew played soccer but they all played basketball together. David played lacrosse in the spring and I think Brad ran track. Brad is the same age as David but the group of athletes from the school all hung around together throughout the year so Brad was in and out of our house regularly. And Brad came skiing with us a couple of times too. He attended the weddings of both David and Andrew. We have always considered Brad a friend.
This evening we had dinner with Brad. He lives and works in London, England but he has a business meeting in Jackson tomorrow so he came early enough to contact us. I give Brad a gold star for going out of his way to see the aged parents of old friends. We love to talk to young people. And I give Brad extra points for doing such a good job of staying in touch with his old school friends. David always has a drink with Brad when in London. Ken and I enjoyed visiting with him tonight even though the evening was simple. We chatted for a bit at our home, then we, along with Christina, all went to the Yacht Club for dinner. The only problem was the noise and the service. They were crowded. But we had a good time and we were delighted that Brad had come to Jackson for business and that he remembered that we lived here. Hats off to Brad.
