  • Hey Pasiano,
    I had the time of my life on the Line with Dibo, Rick Cearly, Bull and Fred Clayton too. JJ and the rest of the Buckeyes, this is a great way to reconnect. Glad to hear from you!

  • Depends on how you classiffy "kids". I have two of my own, one boy and one girl, both grown and have kids of their own so yep now I'm a Grandpa. I also have six step children that refer to me as dad so I claim them also. So I guess you could say that I have six girls and two boys. I also have 11 Grandkids and Love them all as long as they don't stay longer than a day.
