Randy,

>Summer in Seattle can be a beautiful time of the year to spend with friends. The joy of watching a spectacular splintered sunset of cosmic filled colors with Mt. Rainier looming over your shoulder is hard to put into words (as Jerry Garcia would sing “the sky was yellow and the sun was blue”). So it is on such an occasion that I bring some bittersweet news

Just sitting some place to watch the sunset on Mt. Rainier is something that I've had the opportunity to do twice now and hope to have a chance to do a few more times in my life.

>… I will be departing this happy nest of ours shortly – yes, it is time for this bird to fly.

Thank you for everything that I knew you did for VFP and doubly thank you for everything that I never knew you did for VFP.

>Peace and love…..Randy

The very same to you and your family in where ever the the winds take you. Best wishes in whatever endeavours you find when you land.
