What a nucleus of a troop. These guys were self contained that worked, flowed, and moved as one unit. It is hard to explain, not often seen, and such a pleasure to witness. They also could totally could be 100% themselves around each other – silly, serious, helpful, crazy, honest, understanding, and accepting. Another pleasure
