This thread should be mandatory for all freepers . I love/loved McManus. Read his mystery books - the “Sheriff Bo Tully“ series. Absolutely great. The last book is poignant because while you read you know this is his last work and you don’t want it to stop. Here is a good story opening...
“My wife and I were but a few years out of college and already surrounded by babies of of our making... a simple and inexpensive hobby that had somehow gotten out of hand.”
I have been forever blessed by his stories and wit. To the Rancid Crabtree in all of us. Cheers!
Glad i made you smile
