A blessing to see all the folks I grew up with in one place.
RIP Blitzo.

That, my friends, was a good god damn party!!!! Blitzo would be proud!!!!!
I can only hope at my death, that 1/2 as many amazing people show up to celebrate my life...... The depth of knowledge, experience, adventure, camaraderie is to be commended.....
I too got lost in the desert last night.....Watched sunrise from the top of a large municipal water tank with good friends and Blitzo's spirit by our side....
Cheers to our amazing community!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great party! It was really nice seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Thanks to Susan, Todd, Andrea, Russ, Lynne and all the other folks who chipped in. The food was great and Lynne's pies were perfect. I think the Bird ate a whole one by himself. LOL! Definitely did Blitzo proud!

Been a LONG time since I woke up hurting that much! Wow, it was a very fitting tribute to Billy, was cool to meet his Sister Martha and her husband Mort. Great to hang with all my Brothers and Sisters once again. I'm going to take a snooze!
Peace

I'm tired. Dancing and playing the tambourine is hard work! :) Before I kick back I'll try to get some pictures rolling for those not able to join us for the fantastic celebration Of Blitzo's life.
As a friend of mine is fond of saying, "here's how the day unraveled."
more later...computer as tired as I am. Cheers, lynne

Wendell, you will be glad to know, no lights were broken and extension cords did not break any humans:) We missed you and Phyllis.
That's about it for me, Folks. Anyone else take pics? I can't believe the number of people I missed. It's a social challenge to visit, eat, take pics and enjoy the band in only a few hours. lynnie
PS, it was awesome seeing everyone.....old friends and new! Cheers!

Dang, Locker, half way thru the event I looked up and saw you and a little voice said, you'd better keep an eye on him. Next time I'll listen better!

Huge thanks for Todd and Andrea for staging the party, and Susan and Russ
and everyone else who helped out
and, of course, the great community that showed up to remember.

Well, Jan, I do have 4 more pics I was going to save for later....but what the heck. This, after-party, morning I conducted some research which I will present to Dr. Hartouni at some point.

Dean, you are indeed, I have found in the past nearly 6 years there is nothing like the rock climbing community.....nothing. lynne
PS, and on that note someone (but I forget who) told me they personally know Chris Mac and they would ask him to reinstate my old avatar (my name). I hope who ever you are, you remember and thanks!

Wish we could have been there, but I wouldn't have missed the other celebration of a life that we did attend for the world!

TGT, and some that shall remain nameless will wear out your Patience. :)
This could be a perfect segue to my last photo. When I stay in Josh my best friend lives right behind me.

Personally, I'm more in the Ben Franklyn camp, but he knew a saint when he saw one.
So do I.
