It's nice to remember old friends. I had lunch today with the sister of a fellow Marine that was killed in VN in 1967. I found her in 1991 and we speak at least every anniversary of Al's death and get to meet every 4 or 5 years as we live 1000 miles from each other. Thanks for this story about a good friend.

Hi Steve, I'm so sorry the sudden and shocking loss of your friend. Your stories about her and Eau Claire are such a warm and thoughtful tribute. When you speak of Eau Claire, you convey to me the scenes from the movie, Doc Hollywood, and its town, Grady. Special thanks for the warm stories about Wolfy and your discussions with him about bacon ❤

That place was most excellent, always worth a detour. Way back I'd often drive between Milwaukee and Grand Rapids and on one trip found it purely by chance. From then on it became my regular route. I checked the website and it seems the new owners are carrying on a quality tradition. RIP Christine... your food was fantastic. Thanks again Steve.

It is how you spend your time, and those that you impacted that are the most important factors in life. Though I've never met her it sounds like she achieved both. But one only truly dies when we stop remembering them. And I'd never forget someone who gave me a case of bacon.

Do you know Steve? It’s funny how certain people come into your life and they make a huge impact a little bits and pieces of your life that turns out to be way more better and more important than you thought they were. I’ve been at my job for 17 1/2 years and a major retail setting and I’m I have met some of the greatest people you’d ever want to meet, and sadly to say there’s been who have passed and it breaks my heart every time I find out one passes away, so I know what’s all hole that you can’t ever fill talking about her makes it so much easier

Your story reminded me of a good friendship from similar circumstances. I lived in a northern Pittsburgh suburb for around 40 years. I always wanted to find a restaurant that I could count on for good food and good company. However, 90% of the restaurants were chains or bars. Then one day a new bbq place opened called Pork-n' Nat. (You have to be from Pittsburgh to understand the name). We went there a few times and enjoyed the experience. Eventually I started to hang out there doing my paperwork during their non-busy hours. The owner, waitresses, cooks and I all became very good friends. This lasted for several years until the owner developed cancer in his early 50’s and passed away a few months later. His family tried to make a go of it but unfortunately did not have his talent or personality, and it closed shortly thereafter. I’ve never been able to find a similar place and I miss that experience and friendship greatly.

Steve, thanks for sharing your story about your friend who passed. I enjoy those kinds of stories, and her memory lives on even more. My father passed away suddenly last week. As unreal as it still is, even though I sat by his side in the hospital as he slowly faded away while unconscious, I have really heard so much more stories about him from his past that I did not know of, from his siblings. His long-time friend from before I was born told me a lot of things, and the stories I have been told from his old files, with employment papers from 1970 and another stuff I find while browsing through them for info about bank accounts and other things that needs to be cancelled. It makes coping with his death a bit easier since I get more things to keep his memory alive with. Because when his memory fades away he is truly gone.

Interesting what you had to say about some small towns. Before I made a move years ago I visited local schools and businesses, talked to ma y people. I thought it would be ok. I was not prepared for how clan ish and hostile they really e were to outsiders. I was lucky one local got to know me and openly warned me of certain places not to go with my adopted biracial son. We have moved away but other family members still live in the house. In the last few years some of the people have become openly hostile about certain other groups.
