I swung my legs from under the blankets and reached for my slippers. The joy of the spring awakening turned to horror as I stared at my left foot.

By J.P. Spitz — I knew Jonathan from the day he was born. His father was a very close friend of mine.

Our home base was Bethlehem, Ct., but we lived a few miles west of town on the Weekeepeemee River (for real). The terrain is cut with many gorges, river drop offs and steep inclines/declines.
