JOHN MARTIN FEDORCHEK

So many trails have memories of John. When I hike on Pine Mt I always think of John as I pass a particular serpentine area. I remember the time we were looking for a flower that grows on serpentine and I lost an earring that looked like an iris. It wasn't valuable, but I was fond of it. Even before I'd said I lost it, sharp-eyed John came up to with with my earring in hand and said, "I remembered where I'd seen this kind of flower before!" Also thought of John when I went to a lichen...

We have wonderful memories of hikes with John with the CA Native Plant Society (which he nicknamed the Canapes!) and with naturalist and friend Bob Stewart where he was always off trail and coming up with the best mushrooms! We also have happy memories of him at Wendy's birthday celebrations in Roy's Redwoods, and our 25th anniversary celebration at our wedding spot on Mt Tam. We also remember enjoying lots of good food with him - though he never felt like Marin Chinese cuisine measured up...

Louise, so sorry to hear of the passing of your brother, John. Keep all of your memories close to your heart. May he rest in peace.
