He used to complain about the local politicos that wouldn't stay bought. Shades of Landslide Lyndie...

It seems that when a person leaves our lives a piece of us goes with them. Keep their memories alive by sharing their lives' stories with the rest of us. It is very appreciated and in a small way honors their lives.<br /><br />As far as the story in the paper goes, the poor writing style is so bad, because the editor doesn't even realize how bad it truly has gotten. Excuses of, "We're only human" have been used to gloss over the fact that the writiers don't know that they don't know. Kind of like patching a crack on a wall of a shifting house. Looks good, but the foundation is still crappy. Tape, float and paint won't be able to fix the real nature of the problem. Getting dirty and straightening out the problem is what is necessary to put it to right, again. Sort of like the paper, get rid of the unstable foundation and then worry about if the walls look "pretty".<br /><br />Again, please accept my heartfelt sorrow for your loss. Thank you for sharing some of your memories. You will always have an appreciative audience here. We know good thoughts and the ability to express them when we read them.Truth Ferrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472512360373689979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3490660904698632519.post-31793282308214973202010-01-06T05:29:49.059-08:002010-01-06T05:29:49.059-08:00Loon--

I was always honored when he would relate to me any one of his past adventures.<br /><br />I am seriously bummed to have never heard about him hanging with Neil Cassidy. Thanks for sharing that nugget from what was an extraordinary lifeLavignehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140264112744268100noreply@blogger.com
