I think of Mr. Rhett quite often. He was one of my favorite clients and an Animal Hospital I worked at in Summerville. He knew how to "cut up" with me and always made me smile. He reminded me so much of my grandfather that had passed many years ago. I sure miss seeing you and you surprising me with something from your garden. I miss Betty visiting also! :-(
