The way I became a Ranger and have earned the small amount of success I have had in life has been mostly due to one quality - determination. Lefty.

This has to be the greatest year of my life: on 1 Sept my son & his bride of 2 yrs blessed me with their first son, Jack Thomas Dolan; and today my daughter & her husband welcomed their 3rd son to our family: Jack Angelo Dandona!
