I had an address and I got there early in the day and there it was. It was like seeing something,  you know,  like seeing a picture you've seen forever, right? - Mark VaneReferences in this episode:[1] Here is a photograph of Shane and Simon at Shane’s winging ceremony when he became a Navy pilot. [2] Want to learn more from Rabbi Tirzah Firestone?
