Ok, Hi all my friends.......I don't often jump into this thread cause ....well, just cause. Â I read it a lot....so be careful of what you say about popster
I am posting today cause I need to reach out and express my feelings about the loss of another good friend (of 35 years)......
A good man.....went to Yale and Stanford....served in our (USA) Navy...went on to be CEO of an early hi-tech company, dropped out of the rat race and bought some acreage in the mountains near me and started a nudist colony
He created a wonderful community of nice people and kept it that way day and night.
He was sooo smart.....we had so many lively discussions over the years that i can hardly believe we had our last one last week.....the only thing different about our last visit was the big hug he gave me as i left....we always had little hugs...but this one was different and is still on my mind......tears
The memorial yesterday was stunning....friends singing "Danny Boy", Amazing Grace, and "So long my Friend".....wonderful short speeches about friendship and a DVD slide presentation of his whole life......
He had a good life.....this is not meant to be a sad post...it is meant to be a reminder to cherish each other....to stay close to your family and friends....to remember to count your blessings.....especially the small ones that can be taken for granted.
My sadness is also my gladness.
Peace to my gone friend Glynn.
