I'll never forget Mr.Brant. He always knew what we were up to! As Jason and Jeremy's friend, Paul would often engage us in conversation. You couldn't feed him any b.s., actually, that's what he'd say. He would stop in and see my mom to discuss their children as well as our habits as teenagers in the 80's. I think he enjoyed all of us yes, David too! We weren't trouble to anyone. We just loved music and enjoyed being together all the time (literally). I'm glad Mr. Brant had a full life, God Bless him. He's with Jason and Patricia now. Thank you for treating us all like family!
