Rest in Peace my Friend, Harold Hughes. First Person I met here in Excelsior Springs, when I moved back here, in 2012, 13 years ago. I keep thinking of our Watkins Mill trips we took quite often, & sat on deck by the water, & cruise all around the place. Won't be the same my Friend. GOSH DARNIT Harold.
