I always think of this time of year as the birthday time of Dennis (and Linda). As my birthday also falls in this orbit, we would often celebrate our collective birthdays together. So I will this year, as in years past, clink my glass in a toast, remembering my good friend. Salut!

Dennis was a good and long term friend. I met him when I signed up for his Tai Chi classes through the free Communiversity program at UMKC in the early 70´s. He was a good instructor and gave clear instructions. I met his wife Linda, through those classes and our friendship blossomed throughout the years.
I particularly enjoyed his perspective on family/friend dynamics. Always helpful.
I met D. and L. each November in Tulum for some Pisces beach renewal time.
I miss him already.

What a fun time we had with you in August ... I love that Dennis was so interested in helping K and that Brett got a chance to spend time with him. Love, Pam
