GWG presents "Remembering Don Adam's Day"

Dear GWG,

    

I proclaim “Remembering Don Adam’s Day” a fine example of what a memorial dedicated to one’s fellows should be.  From the beginning images of the video and the sounding of the chime three times in his memory, to the last speaker and closing reading of Don’s writing, we were reminded of how this man  touched each of our lives.

    

Those who spoke, those who read and those who listened were equally affected.  Don’s talent, his humor and honesty as well as his ability to express thoughts in written form will be with us always.  He encouraged and mentored us, made us laugh and brought us joy.  His person will be greatly missed, but he lives forever in our hearts.

Present Today:

Boots Coffed, Kathy Wright, Linda Wagner, Jenny Bates, Pete Muzyka, Jewel Muzyka, Jackie Askew, Bob Newell, Liz Howells, Diane Johnson, Mev Rozsman, George Heiring, Lisa Wheeler,

Lou Jones, Toni Jones, Barb Griffiths, Fritz vonRichthofen, Helen vonRichthofen, Jeanne Herrero, Maureen Young, Barry Darugar

IMPORTANT:

Submissions for the November booklet must be in to Barb Griffiths a.s.a.p.  The June 30^th deadline is fast approaching.  Please, if you have not already submitted—do it today.
