  • Yay!

    So heartfelt and genuine. And humble! Loved this particular episode. And knew Bryan a bit at Bucknell. Love how the Bucknell and the military and the medical degree all came together for this great guy. Plus he fixed my son’s knee when he wrecked it in the Moscow parade by accidentally slamming his cart under a float. ❤️❤️❤️
