Too many memories of sharing stories & laughs in the threads & PMs to list.... but when my wife & I were returning home to MD from St. Louis, he & Karen & Tristan met us for lunch at the nearest I-70 stop. We had a couple of hours of sharing laughs and memories and stories that I really cherish.... and a bunch of pictures of all of us in various poses.
   He had quite a life, both good and .... frustrating.... but his approach was to take what was offered and kick the parts he didn't like "you know where".

A few typed words doesn't do justice to how much he gave to all of his many friends here.
