Thanks to everyone who attended the Veteran’s Day parade Saturday, Nov. 9. Kohen and I hung out with Larry Eickenhorst and waved our flags. The manager at Classic Rock, Scott, took pictures for me and when Kohen gave him a star from a flag, he wanted a copy of the photo. He placed it on the Classic Rock Facebook page. Later, a lady put a picture of Kohen, me and Larry on the site, too. Kohen passed out stars in Classic Rock and we met a couple from Los Angeles who were in town for a wedding. Good day for us.
