    We just found out some news today. My husbands family was kind enough to take this other child in under their wing when he aslo was a young boy (the other boy's name is Jim.) so Jim and my husband grew up as brothers together. He was a veteran from the Korean war. We just found out that he passed away Monday.
    This man has given alot for his country and his family. He also raised rabbits and named the breed after himself, he has given jessy a rabbit for her b-day a few years back. She still has that rabbit. I really feel bad for my husband as he has just lost a big part of his life.
