Happy belated Birthday Sharyn. Hope you're doing well.
So sorry to hear. In high School she was a sweet person and I'm sure she will be missed.

i posted a memory for Mark Reid but this site isn't set up to send notifications when you post on someone else's site. I don't know html well enough so it could take a lot of new code and links to make that happen and I don't want to create more work. I'm glad this site is here and I recommend sending in a few bucks to support it. (I believe I had to send a check. Perhaps there could be a link to send in donations to for support?) Anyway, here is what I wrote about Mark Reid:
On this quiet Sunday morning my mind has drifted to Mark Reid. I don’t know of anyone who did not like him and appreciate his sense of humor. He was a funny guy.
One of my best memories was in…I think it was 8thgrade. (Hey, it’s been a while.) We had to debate the pros and cons of smoking pot. I was given the honor of extolling its virtues and he had to demonize it.
On the morning of the debate I stopped outside the Dearborn Drive-in, out front where the sign was, and amongst the shrubs and whatever was growing there, smoked a joint with some friends. (I thought at the time it would give me insight and bolster my argument. It didn’t.)
I don’t remember the outcome of the debate. (Hey, I was high, what can I say?) But a few years later Mark and I would be sharing a joint at some party or other and I’m glad I got to know him and appreciate his love of Monty Python and more.
Peace.

Congratulations on your retirement, Rick! Enjoy.
Rachel, So sorry to hear of your loss.
I've known Scott since our elementary school days. Never once did I see him angry, upset only when it was justified from more than his own vantage point ... always considering others, even when we were kids. Always had a new idea to share, laugh to instigate a belly laugh, and love abounding. It is no surprise his life was full and rich -- he knew it and shared that with me last year. He deserved it, but didn't desere to leave us so soon. Bless all of his family and friends, the luckiest people on earth to have been a part of Scott's life. Please accept my deepest sympathies and my wish for comfort, strength and peace. His smiling face will always be in my memory and in my heart.
