Barbara & Larry,
I was shocked and very saddened when hearing about Wade. I met wade by chance at Haverty's, back in the 90's. We became the best of friends and great golfing partners. Words can't express the fun we had--just ask Larry! I was hoping to get back out there with him after all my knee and hip problems were fixed --- I will really miss him.
