Interesting in '99 that evidently they were supposed to meet Brooke and Blaine but no mention of it before they went back to Ohio??
I'm sure there was something, I probably just left it out. I'll go back and check.
OK, here are a few more details on Blaine which I have added to the Jan. 3 post. "Finally made plans with Blaine to meet him & Brooke at 1:30 at Fearrington. He is 58, works at Lowe's." Keep those questions and comments coming -- helps keep me going!
