I'm sorry for your loss Jen.You have gained a new guardian angel

There's too much to talk about. I'd like to see you guys. I'm trying to leave my contact email, and hope to hear from all of you. For now, just for the record: Back in the 70's, when I stood (proudly) by my Ironworker Father's side during a big union squabble and nobody was sure what kind of trouble might go down, I wore my Kerby Duck shirt. John Roberts helped start all of that. We shocked the WORLD of Portland Fastpitch.

There's so much to talk about. I want to see all of you, but just for the record: Back in the late seventies, when I stood (proudly) at my Ironworker Father's side during a big union squabble in Boardman, Oregon, and nobody really knew just what kind of trouble might go down, I wore my Kerby Duck shirt.

I could fill up this guest book with funny stories, but I just want to say to Jennifer how much I like what you wrote. Your Dad and I had many many conversations about the nature of things and the mysteries of life. I remember you as a little girl, soaking it all in. You had a great Dad.

This was so sudden to me, and I'm still searching for the right words, but John will always be the closest friend I'll ever have. From the St A's Hawks, and then after I came home from 'Nam and was running 'hot', he was there. A friend when I really needed a friend. You just couldn't be too crazy for that cat! We had some wild, but also really good times. We had some troubles later on, but I'm very grateful that I got to see him at Steve and Betsy Bricker's just a couple months ago. Whatever...
