Hey Pat, I hope you are watching over our Portland "brothers" (sad there are so many) and putting them back in check. I hope you guys aren't causing too many problems. I can only imagine with the crew that's there. You, Paul, my uncle John, Billy, P-nut, Mike, Tommy, Shannandoah, James Wilson, and soooooooooo many others. But at least you guys have each other, and one day I will see my buddies again. Until then, you guys give God and all the saints and angels a break because the weathers been crappy since you were taken to a happier and pain free life.
I love all of my heavenly family. Kristi Recktenwald (Big Bird)

p.s. will you give my uncle john a great big hug for me and tell him I love him and miss him with all my heart. Bip him on the "fod" for me too. :)
