Working w/ Loren a few years ago at Red Ray Lane's made my nights entirely too much fun! I enjoyed our conversations, whether serious or not...I'm glad I stopped in a couple weeks ago to "harass" him 1 more time. I wasn't aware he was ill & I'm deeply sorry for the loss & I'll be thinking of you all. Just wanted you all to know I appreciate having the chance to get work w/ him...& share a part of our lives together. Take care...05/13/2011 10:18 AM
