One of my friends lost a riding buddy in an avalanche which almost caught him and after searching for a couple of weeks they recovered the body, bringing closure to the tragedy.
My friend Paul died in his sleep while at his home in Hawaii and a gathering was held at the Lyons Club House in Eagle River. There were about seventy five people attending and the program was very good, MC was Al Bowler. Paul never wanted a sorrow party so Arlene had a festive gathering which turned out well. Live music, slide show, speeches and a great buffet rounded out the evening. That’s the way I wish to be remembered, great send off for an avid golfer.
The good news was about the price of gas being reduced by fifty cents a gallon, compliments of the Christian Fellowship in Eagle River. I thought I was dreaming when the price was posted, the sale lasted about six hours and I filled my truck.
My computer has been down for upgrading so have been off line for a while and still working the bugs out, I wonder if RAID would help. SKYPE is now functional on my computer but the only other people on my system are Steve Rettke and Andy Anderson but that is a lot of entertainment for a day. If any of you activate the program please advise me so I will have the ability to communicate.
