Jack’s Winning Words 9/12/08
“Never shall I forget the time I spent with you. Please continue to be my friend, as you will always find me to be yours.” (Beethoven) These are words said to have been spoken by Beethoven on his death bed. I wonder who he had in mind when he said them? Friendship is a real treasure that we often take for granted. Thank you for being a friend. ;-) Jack
