As it is Bike Month, I thought of the wonderful, amazing older gentleman who I used to meet while we were both biking on Route 146. I was always out for a quick fitness ride but he was often commuting, it seemed - in it for the long haul. When I heard of the accident, I knew exactly who'd been involved, even though I never knew his name until the tragedy. I still think of him (and hope to "see" him) on my rides. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

I've just learned of Bill's passing and I am deeply saddened. I knew Bill only through our common association with the CBA ADR section but we would speak at every meeting and he was a lovely and gentle man. My deepest sympathies. Steven C
