		<description><![CDATA[Disclaimer to the Hancey’s and Henke children:&#160; The memories are true and you will remember them all, but think of them as bits and snatches that have been floating around for almost 25 years.&#160; I grabbed them one at a time and formed them into one big ball for the this story.&#160;&#160; Please, please please, [...]]]></description>
