I will never forget you, Mr. Dino. I think of you every tomato harvest when I make my own spaghetti sauce, but this year I thought maybe I'd look you up online just to see your face again, even though I'd known you had passed. You were the kindest, gentlest man I'd met during my formative years, that and a sweet sense of humour, one that was easy for a child to cling onto. I'll never forget you saying "my good woman" to my Mom when you had your first bite of her homemade spaghetti sauce just after coming back from fishing in the Trinities with my Dad. I always wondered if the recipe that I so closely try to mimic was actually your family's recipe, nonetheless it always makes me think of you. And one of the funniest memories of the Trinities involves you, chasing that mole, (or whatever it was) around the campsite with a shovel! Ooh, we had some of the best time in the Trinities, didn't we? The Churchill's and the Partain's and you even camped with my us and our Grandparents once when I was really little, I believe. Anyhow, Mr. Dino - I'm sorry you're gone, but I always hear your voice in my head "my good woman" when I'm canning my sauce, and I wanted you to know what a kind impression you made on me and the world while you were here. Rest Easy Forever, Heather (Sworthout) Gossard
