Enjoy FRIENDSHIP in its finest voice. Frequent reader Lucine Morris has emailed, Mansfield demonstrates once again the advantage of having a keen memory.

Burns has commented: Mansfield's subject, FRIENDSHIP, is probably one of the few things that still light our world in the midst of all the darkness and fear around us. So, kudos!

In many cases his stories are mine! The memories he brings back to life are incredible. I only wish we could relive our loving lifelong friendship. Having best friends who love you as much as you love them makes one's life complete. Of FRIENDSHIP former Marine Corps combat helicopter pilot and Vietnam War veteran Bain D. Slack has observed, Most people have only a handful of really good, dependable friends you know that you can always count on.
