Britni you beat me to the bunch i was going to do the 50 list. All I have to say is what a great father in law and uncle in law. Perry is the best father in law that you could ask for and even pulled out his knife and got his guns out when i asked if i could marry britni. He also does something productive evrytime he comes to our house, either mowes our lawn or fixes somthing. And britni is right he made a beautiful daughter that is kind and loving like her dad.
