When I saw this picture, I did a little gasp. There is so much life and love there, I expected Fred to start talking. What a gift! That picture, Fred, you Nancy and your sharing this with us who love you both.

After spending much time on the deck of my house this summer, I realizemy gratitude for not only Fred’s life, but each of yours. Many of us havegathered on this same deck over the years, sharing stories and our lives. When Fred dictated the blog entry below, just days before his death, he wassitting on the deck, looking out over the raised beds and his community. I received the photo below from our son Bruce. he was looking through photos and discovered this one. Our family was on one of our memorable vacations together. He titled it, " Celebrating BIKER Fred". Dad received a (fake) tattoo in Libby, Montana and he was acting like a biker; you were obviously his biker chick (that's me, Nancy) Thought you might laugh with us. Shared with love and beautiful memories, Nancy _______________________________________________ OE mailing list OE@lists.wedgeblade.net http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net
