Quote: What's this I hear about Gordie not making it?
As you might surmise Gordie made it just fine and it was great seeing him again. The question now becomes, did Gordie make it out of Nelson?
I believe most folks are either home or on the road home now. In many ways it was great and fitting Nelson ralley. On Saturday we had a Friar John memorial ride, Nelson to Kaslo over the top to New Denver and back, that Keith had a large part organizing. A little gathering at the lake pull out at the "over the top" part and a sharing of memories. I can't really remember how many "spirited rides" Friar and I had over those roads.
At the end of the Saturday's banquet Liane Langlois of Edmonton and the 2013 event organizer/facilitator/trouble-shooter did a very fitting and appropriate remembrance of the Friar. The words a collaboration of Gene Fenske and herself. Thanks Gene, Thanks Liane. Everyone knew the Friar. I won't mention all the real names-screen names there. Besides in a short time the more technologically literate members will be posting pics.
The event is more than one man, but FJ has certainly been a huge part of it for a long time. Till next year people
