We met Anna Louise and Barry on one of our motorcycle trips through the big horn mountains. Though we never knew them more than those few brief moments that were spent high at Powder Pass Lookout and throughout the day waving as our paths would cross that day. (Them on their valkyrie Trike and us on our 1100 Goldwing) We will always remember their kindness and aspire to be those kind of people that will make a lasting impression on others.

Mrs Jester was my hearing clinician in school. She helped me overcome that my newly becoming deaf didn’t define me and from on I never seen my deafness as a disability. I owe her everything. I have thought about her so much over the years. She will be terribly missed. God bless her and her family
