It has occured to me
« on: October 25, 2006, 09:02:43 AM »
An "In Memory of" forum is not out of order.

I'm afraid I did not have the opportunity to meet Itty Bitty Storm or Ms. Anne Lee, both so well spoken and thought of on several Cas websites.
There have been others including my late friend , Tabasco Kid.

I not suggesting an open forum , rather a memorial heading . Perhaps only accessed by the Moderators for a eulogy or memorial submitted by the citizens or loved ones of this forum.

Many are hurting right now, The idea is only to honor the memory, of those gone on to Fiddlers Green.

That'd probably be a good name for it too, Major2............. 8)

Yup, this old cowboy would support that.  I know I ain't been active in this here bunkhouse, but I do recognize the value that many of our pards and pardettes have made in our lives.  Didn't have the pleasure of meeting Itty Bitty, but did hear some good things about her.  Never met Annie Lee either, but did have many lively discussions with her, and knew her to be a lady of strong convictions, strong moral fibre, and possessing that unique qualitiy of common sense.  Made a trip back into her neck of the woods a couple of years back, and was trying to make plans to meet up with her, but it just didn't work out.  My loss.  Big time.

Would really think that a forum to allow us to remember such great souls that have passed through our "game" would be of value to the memory of those Pard(ette)s and to those of us left behind.

Mebbe it's just that "gettin' long in the tooth" myself, but I'm increasingly recognizing the treasures that are ours by simply being able to meet and know such folks as these two great members of the CAS family.  Being able to express those treasured feelings in such a public forum would serve to both share those wonderfull experiences and commemorate the value that they brought to our lives.

For whatever it's worth, the idea has my vote.
People like me are the reason people like you have the right to bitch about people like me.

Totally agree.  I am also suggesting to Mule Camp that maybe we could use our pards names for all who ever shot the match on the tombstones that are in the graveyard.  This way they would always be with us at the Mule Camp match.  I understand that it could get pretty large real quick but the effort would be worth it.  Maybe even a single tombstone from each state that shoots there and the state could take the responsibility of updating the tombstone and getting ot to the match and all.  I know I am rambling but we have all lost good friends already and I do try to remember them especially when I am at a match.  Wish they were there shooting with us.

I am all for it, too.  I have the pleasure of talking with Itty Bitty on the phone a few times, a sweeter nicer lady would be hard to find.  I am fortunate that both she and Bo has honored me to be counted among their friends.

Thanks for the support , pards ...
I asked the Marshall & Marshalette to keep a eye on this thread, they like the Idea too.
Marshalette said, she would like to see how the folks here respond, and go from there.
So I guess, the ball is our court, if y'all want it, keep those cards and letters coming.

May the good Lord, bless those who have gone on to their just reward.

Deffenitely a worthwhile endeavor.  And what a great way to pass on some of our pards' wisdom and joy in the sports.
