Everyone gave heartfelt congratulations to the other. They had both completed their masters; degrees and were working on their doctorates. As our wive... talked, I said, “Julian, you look better and happier than I can ever remember. I’m glad for you. I know you are taking care of your girl. It all has worked out well.” We gave each other man hugs. The ladies kissed and hugged the other’s husband. We parted in friendship. I could tell that Christine was happy. I was glad for them. I was glad for. Brad flew a Lear Jet to deliver a package to different places. Brad flew out on Mondays, back Tuesday afternoon, off Wednesdays, another flight Thursday and home Friday.
