"We all raised our water glasses."To Skip. To Theo." We all took a sip and sealed our bargain.Coach Neville closed our team meeting, put on his coat, ...nd stopped by to pay his respects to the Horvath family before leaving. A few others left, but a lot of Skip's friends decided to stay, taking advantage of a homework-free, practice-free day.A little later, small triangles of sandwiches, snacks, and cookies were brought out and set up on the buffet tables for those of us who had stayed.
