Thanks, Grandfather for my first motorcycle ride. Thanks for taking me fishing and warning me about the Cottonmouths. Thanks for crafting the understated, solid wooden side table that I use every day. Thanks for the wooden jigsaw map my daughter has enjoyed, and turned her on to puzzles. Thanks for speaking oddly(at least to me, a secular Northerner!) in the way of "Thee" and Thou", etc. I learned(perhaps) that speaking the same way might mean thinking the same way. Thanks for raising a wonderful family, including my Dad. Thanks for providing refugees a home. We will miss you. -Peace- Brett, Suzuko, and Marina Llewellyn, Seattle
