In life, it seems as though you only get to know a few people who really touch you. Who really have an impact on you as a person. Family, spouses, friends, your children, those relationships that really impact us all are rare. I feel lucky to have many of those kinds of relationships in my life. And in the friend’s category, this is a sad time for me, as I’m sure it was for so many of us who knew Wells Lamey, who passed away Sunday. And I know there are many of you out the...
