Dear Helen,Anne & Nancy, I was so shocked to hear about Wes. I so wanted to see him before we left for Florida and just didn't find the time. My loss. Wes was someone special, I could go to Wes with a problem and he would always have the solution. All the help and advice he gave when building my house, my first deer camp experience, learning to fish the Shatsbury Hollow brook. All these and a great many more memories I will cherish in Wes's memory. My best to you all.
