His pics in the Cali Road Trip guidebook made it special. Showed us the history, peeled back the years, brought us right back. He was so giving and cool and why do those kind go so early?
Celebrate his memory you guys, and celebrate each other.

Wow Lynn!

I have never seen that picture of Billy and I above. Of course he is drinking the better brew!

Thanks and see you at the Memorial.

Here is a picture that Leigh-Ann sent me this morning. She found it on Bills hard drive. Years ago in Todd's living room. Donny, Al, Mike and I. We're going to bring it back on the 9th.

Yep, Fishfinder, that is Zip. My faux pas for forgetting to mention him. Know the photo is small, but I thought Beth would like it regardless. Peace and Joy, lynnie.

Hey all, Billy's Memorial Service is November 9th and we hope to see you all at the celebration. If you plan on attending please RSVP to the "event" or contact me so we can get a handle on food/beverage needs.

For the Memorial Slideshow we are looking for photos with Billy IN THEM. If at all possible please prepare the photos by indicating who's in the shot & where is the photo was taken. That way all Russ will need to do is lob them into the slideshow. Worst case, we still want your photos......but please list on the email and/or the .jpg pertinent info.

Many of you already have photos posted here on ST. For ease, quality resolution & Russ's time on this project please submit any pictures with Blitzo in them directly to either me or Russ. If you don't have our email address' shoot us a PM.

Oh yeah, the sooner the better as this project will take a bit of effort to put together as it's coming from so many sources.

Thanks!

Susan, Mo and I will be there Saturday morning to help out, so save something for us to do. Its a long haul, so we want to get some climbing in on the way. Maybe New Jack. We're open to ideas. Anyone want to join us; Cosmic, Mr. E?

If the park is still closed we'll stay at the pit or maybe Todd's if he'll have us. Looking forward to seeing everyone and memorializing Blitzo in fine fashion. Y'all know how to throw a good party!
