Thank you for the post! It’s really great news! I’m proud of Jake! and I think Jake has a good example as his godfather.
My pleasure.
Yes, I’m glad that Jake was asked to do this and that he accepted. I don’t know much about Paul Newman as a man, but the fact that he and his wife had such a long marriage speaks volumes.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!
he certainly has that chiseled look like Paul. I’m glad he is on the roster to honor his godfather
Some blue eyes, huh? :-)
I’m really glad, too.
