Neil & Drake The Dancing Labrador
Cool tunes, Lester !! Hey.....did you sign Drake's card? I was hoping to find both you and Shirley on the card since Drake and I have been big fans for a long time.

Neil, Drake's Grateful Dad
I don't slip often and sign off like I did before Drake's passing. Hope the card is still in the studio for you. If not, Anne-Marie will have it. God bless, Anne-Marie for all of her support !
