We even recorded it on the VCR as a keepsake. Glad to know he's still alive and kicking. A real modern day hero.

His father soon changed both of their names to Martin Luther in honor of the German Protestant leader Martin Luther)…….It seems to be automatic with me_I can not think of one without thinking of the other 2 as well.Exemplary LIFE stories for the Ages!
