I'm using Howard Johnson's computer here in Helena this morning and before I'm off to the airport to fly back home to just say that John's memorial service yesterday was something I'm glad I didn't miss.

It was my great pleasure to see my old BA.com friends moe, RKTBob, GMike, wrwallpi, Z and Karen here, AND to meet and share some memories of John with some of John's friends and family yesterday.

I'd also like to thank Gene, who did an excellent job of setting this whole thing up and making John's memorial service a wonderful experience.

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
