I wish you the best, and hope you catch that triple digit blue. from the boat your son bought you.

Thats awesome Doug. I'm happy for you two that you could leave the past in the past & look to the future. I never had that oppertunity with John (my real father). I gave him a chance several times & he pretty much shrugged me off. His loss, not mine. He died several years ago & will never know what might have happened if only he would have tried.

Doug, I'm glad you and your son are growing closer by the day...You 2 certainly deserve it and it's obvious he's just as giving and kind as you are...I'm glad I got to know you and was able to help you out earlier in the year...By the way, that boat looks great man!!! I know you will take care of it, you certainly deserve it!

Doug, I dont know you extremely well, but the times I have been around you, it seems that your son took after his dad.
