I thought it would be nice to have a spot for us to share our memories of Dave, just like we did with Kirk, and we can get them passed along to his family.

Good Morning Terry,

THank you THankyou Thankyou!! for the email and the pics! My heart was So Torn that night and I So wanted to come... but as I was there for the funeral and turned dad loose to tackle the situation the first time I thought I better stick to the matter at hand... Lord knows how the week was going to turn out.

So today its friday and we are going to go home after lunch..Dads hemoglobin number is up to 11 and thats perfect for this and we can wait till dr'ing till wednesday next week and they will see what his number is. I am so fortunate to have new freinds and blessed to be wanted :smile: when you were looking for me to come. I would hope there will times in the future that I get to come or will be invited to come and see the gang. I will keep you posted on how things are.. and I hope everyone is well... I haven't heard from another soul but you :smile: and thats fine too.. I know how busy everyone gets :smile:

Stay dry and out of the hails way up there!!!

Sheesh, Who knows? That place seems to be pretty unorganized if you ask me. The message on the comedy line is two weeks old and no one at all answers the hotel phone. The web site doesn't even say times or cost. Huh

I did leave a message so when they get back to me on Tuesday I'll let you know. :eyeroll:

Man does bad customer service get my goat. There are so many ways to make things better for your customers and people don't seem to realize that. Maybe it's because I'm in that line of work and can see it first hand. Kinda like a waitress either tipping real big or not at all when going out to eat at a different restaurant.

the dinner show combo is 34.95 but comes with prime rib so I'm thinking around 15-20 for a ticket?

I'll call you.

I actually didn't bring the camera for once.

It was fun though. Funny stuff. Tim & I bought DVD's that he signed for us too.

I got to talk with another real Santa at the Roger Waters show last night at X. I seen him as we came in the door and ran up to him just after I told my clan that I wouldn't leave them.

(which I have a tendency to do at concerts)

I was all giddy with happiness. How often do you get to see Santa enjoying a nice concert during the summer? :cool: :cool:

I told him about Dave and he knew him and offered his sympathy for our dear friend.

Thanks V but I'm not really a fan of cheap buzz cuts. I only had the girl do it because I was there with Ali and didn't want to drive all the way across the street to my place. I have had a number of compliments on it though. Plus it is easy to take care of and comfortable. Thanks for noticing.

Hey Tim - Did you watch the Jeff Gerbino DVD? Check out the Bonus material. Pretty interesting with the 2000 Flushes commercial, old 'CCO news and Minnesota Bound stories. Totally takes me back to 1999. :smile:

I am finally getting around to reading this thread, and I've been skipping a bit... so forgive me if I missed this

so, did Jeff say anything to any of ya'll who went to the roast, about the fundraiser to do Dave's bench in the park?

I've been meaning to post this - I took it in the french Quarter - it's a xmas store.

That works perfect! I'll call him when I get back from Mexico and get settled in, before harvest starts - so I can get working on it.

Then I'll call him. I'd like to see it in late fall - so we can really push the "santa" part of it (people will be in the holiday spirit - so it should fit well)

and we'll get it going, and see what we can do!

it is also a great time for me, cause my cult girls are used to me not being around helping them, due to harvest - so I will have more time to focus on this, rather than on stuff they drop on my plate.

you'd think this woulda been done a LONG time ago. (unfortunately, I do everything late! :frown: ) I sent Majors a card last week - just wanted everyone to know I thanked them from all of us.

I was at the fair this year, and I like one particular food that I didn't get a chance to get this year (The honey and sunflower ice cream in the Agriculture building.)

Mrs. Bear was really tired and wanted to go home, but wanted me to get my ice cream. I thought of Dave, I smiled, and realized that I had genuinely learned my response, which was "There's always Next Year."

I thought of Dave four different times at the fair this year. I saw 4 different guys who looked like him. :frown:

My mom's fair group were all talking about him not being there this year. Sad :frown:

Just received today:

Friends of David,

Hi, I believe that these are all the e-mail addresses I have, however, I know that some of you Friends, like Stanley Kasal, I do not have one for. I have copied CD's off the recovered pictures on my camera chip. Thanks to a skilled grandson. So, I want to send these copies to you guys. I have the mailing envelopes, etc.,so what I need is a list of mailing addresses. I may have some of them someplace, but my filing system resembles David's way too closely. Send addresses, and I will send copies of what I have. I have cut about four or five discs, so you can share, please.

As soon as I have an address, I will send them. Some are good, some are not. You can delete and save, as you wish.

Love to all of you who came to be there for David.

Blessings to you,

Esther Ring (cousin)

Jana & Brad,

I have enclosed 2 CD's in each of your envelopes. This way you have an extra to share without having to copy yours. I did not enclose any note in the envelopes.

However, there are four photos of my sister, (who could not be there) with her cat----following those four, there are the ones I took at the closed, decorated gravesite the next day. At the very end are some of family members, taken on our trip back to FL. Those should have been deleted, but, I was so grateful to have other grandchildren assisting me in the copying process, that I really didn't say anything. I am so thankful for the kids assistance. I figured you guys could overlook the extra photos.

Love & hugs for your part in the "Celebration on David's Life"

Terry,

I will miss him so much, around the Holidays, It won't be Thanksgiving, or Christmas for my family in MN, without him. I'll bet you folks who always saw him at the Fair, are telling yourselves again, "he lives on in our hearts, but we sure miss seein' him. I had a hard time deleting his name off my e-mail, and cell phone. It just doesn't seem right, somehow.

much love to you "friends of Dave" at this time,

Esther
