Our prayers go out to Sheldon and his family. He was my best friend at Cribbage at Captions on Long Lake, Isanti Mn. He could get me to settle down when the mean people at Cribbage. Would not follow the rules and treat me like dirt. Sheldon hD a heart of gold. His family can be proud of him. He stopped playing because he played cards with a group of friends and his loving wife.
