He was cool and however busy had a smile, Hi and a couple of words to acknowledge me whenever I visited Barefoot. He always made me feel welcome and most importantly even the last time I was in SL he still remembered to say hello.<br />DDViceUnVersahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07478905264721929121noreply@blogger.com
