Hi all
Hope you are all well. This is not exactly a
rant and in fact I am not sure what it is. Some of you know that I took a
bit of a ride in August and a couple of you have even asked about it. I
sat down to do a quick outline of the trip. I thought it might run a
couple of pages and that the grandkids someday might be interested, if Jason
kept it around that long. They are a long way yet from being really
interested in what old people think. But I do love them so.
Just how special life is was demonstrated again to
me recently. I got a call from Debbie, Clarence Bell's wife and she told
me that Clarence had suffered an aneurism in July and died. She had taken
it hard and since CB had not wanted any funeral or memorial service, she just
had not notified anyone until now. Some of you knew Clarence and others
not. I assure you the world lost one of its true characters when he
passed. Clarence was one of the few people you will ever meet who simply
did not have a mean bone in his body.
Anyway back to this thing. Somehow as I was
preparing it, I lost control. As a result it goes on and on, often about
not much. But it is finally done so here it is for what its worth.
As I am fond of saying, "it is what it is".
Friends are important to me. Every time I
send one of these out I think how I should be communicating more often and
letting you know how very alive you all are in my memory and imagination.
Thanks for all the great times.
Bob
