Slim Randles is here today to kick the weekend off with a reminiscence of a special time in his life. I think it is good, and important, to look back on experiences that meant so much to us. In remembering, we are living it again in a sense, and that brings joy and contentment and …
Please help me welcome mystery author, Kay Kendall, as today’s Wednesday’s Guest.
