Most Definitely!!! I love Dr. Allen!!! I hadn't seen him an a long time & gave him a hug!!! My best friend use to work with him in surgery & I've been to his home for his barn yard gatherings many many years ago & had a ball. We even laughed about his favorite line dance sing he would play during surgery We both got a good laugh because that was the good ole days!
