In my senses, I can still smell the sweat of my horse. I can still taste the oranges and feel a plunge in the pool after lacrosse practice. I can still hear Marvin’s humbled and eclectic voice at his dinner table, and Fred’s insight into movies and literature (as well as his tutelage on the tennis court). And lastly who can forget Jack singing domine? Nothing better. Thacher is a gem!
