Dave,

Sorry to hear about the beestings and ya know that was my calling here tonight was the thought of your family and of your cousin you lost. I was thinking of my Father being gone and of those whom I had cheerished and been honored to have called them friend. Then I thought of your friend and the friends I have made here, I didn't want to come on for the first time in a week or so and be sappy. But ya know guys and gals of camp chickenbuck I'm honored to call all of you friends..

Tomorrow morning will find us all in different places going different directions but we will all have one direction in common in our thoughts, and that is in wondering what our friends from here are doing at that time. Each time our thoughts wonder to here as mine do daily especially when I talk to a couple guys from Mn. daily, many times I think of this place and my friends here. Each time we all think of our friends here its a thought in honor of your cousin and our lost friends watching over us all.
