When Julie was little, she was obsessed with the Dukes Of Hazzard. For her 6th birthday, I had a tee shirt made for her with Bo and :Luke Duke’s names on it. She loved that tee shirt and I can still close my eyes and see her at her birthday party, holding it up in front of her with a huge smile on her face. She was the tiny talk of the neighborhood and never met a stranger.
