I took the jewish spot in the office when Saul graduated.\u00a0 Saul adnd Barry were on &#8216;mom and dad camp&#8217; after dropping kids off at camp. It was really great catching up with them..\u00a0\u00a0 We spent most of the enveing talkign abut life, kids, and &#8216;do you remember&#8217;&#8230; ?
