Caz21 Did I miss?? 6 Nov 9 2010, 1:33 PM EST by weatherlywatcher49

Did I miss Fornell getting a divorce from Gibbs' ex?? It seems to be the case although I'm sure I would have remember it as the conversation would have risen a couple of giggles between Fornell and Gibbs. Anyone know for sure if that is the case?

Thanks
Carol

Mr. FBI and Gibbs make an interesting Odd couple with I think mr. fbi being Tony Randalls character and Gibbs being the other. Made me laugh last week
