You realize that's FerrySToc weekend? It'd be on your way home and the middle of a camping trip for me.

Yes. Around 2 hours from Ferry and closer to home to boot.You realize that's FerrySToc weekend? It'd be on your way home and the middle of a camping trip for me.

I hope it’s appropriate to giggle through a memorial gathering. The man always had me in stitches.

"It's a balmy 35 degrees tonight, we have unique outside dining reserved for your special group at the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute Dr. Fairbanks"... memories.

Dining - Winthrop Rockefeller Institute
We believe great dining is part of a great conference. Our incredible staff is well versed in serving groups of all sizes in all stylesrockefellerinstitute.org
They took one look at our group and said "we have nice seating for you on the patio". It probably didn't help our cause after we parked on the sidewalk
I would like to go to John's memorial but will have to wait until closer to the date to decide.

I talked to Saline County SFWA about camping if anyone is interested:
Very laid back, $8 no reservations, just find a spot, “if no one finds you to collect the fee it’s free”, no worry.

I will plan to attend.
Aww man... I haven't been on the forum in a while and I open it up to see this.
Rest in peace my friend. You were one of a kind and a hoot to be around.

I let Sourkraut (John Smick) know about the Memorial Service; he is suffering poor health, unable to attend and sends condolences.

Riding to Harrisburg. Booked a couple nights there. I didn't feel like camping. Hopefully, the usual suspects will be there at Johns service.

There were nine or ten of us at John’s gathering. No service but a slide show in the background. I got to speak with his brother, David and his daughter, Rebecca. They seemed happy we were there.
RIP my friend.

Thankful to have known John and to have shared so many laughs together. I always enjoyed his company. It was nice to see so many show up for his family.
Yes it was good times with John always and he is missed. I'm sure the Family was given some sort of signal with all of us in attendance.
I have 11 names present there Bug. Ray Mark Tom Randy Della Jack Mike Phil Kevin Greg Ron. Is that all?
