[AT] [External] Reminded of an old ATIS friend this week

[Mogrits]

I'm late catching up here on the list... I've lost a close personal friend
and also my father in law very recently, and have a cousin in hospice and a
mother in fragile condition. I've reached the age of more funerals than
weddings to attend.

But thank you Farmer- it is important to remember these friends we've had
and made over the years. It carries forward their legacies and their
impressions on us. I have deceased friends, and my father and stepfather,
whom I think about every day of my life. Because of their strong
influences, I still find myself practicing their teachings and doing things
the way they taught me to do them. In fact, I still hold many of my
decisions and actions up to their scrutiny. I think they would be proud of
leaving these impressions.

I really miss George Willer and Cecil and Neil. In addition to his thing
for tools, didn't Cecil also have a soft spot for Fire Engines?

Anyway, thanks Farmer, you will also be one to be long remembered, and I
mean that sincerely, if for nothing other than "check the grounds".
