BI,

You have always shared a piece of your adventures with us, and that is just a testament to the type of person you are. Although you are doing these things for yourself, you don't mind letting us in on the adventure to some degree.

I have of course seen the bear by your place on the Island. I never realized the significance. I know there are now words to say about the loss so I will not. (Yep, even big stubborn guys like me get tears in my eyes about things like this).

Hopefully someday at a forum fest or by some chance meeting we will have the chance to meet. You strike me as the type of person that makes everyone that much better of just for having known.

ok not to mention, I think your a great debate opponent!!!....
