over the years a friend and i had joked about visiting Okanogan - my homeland... we would meet at a function and he would ask when was the next "Re-Okeeee"? which meant my next visit to the OK valley.
we have had many great adventures in the valley and i have many great friends who live there - guess you can take the boy out of the valley but not the valley out of the boy...
over memorial weekend we "Re-Okeeed" Brian and Mary had a bbq - it was wonderful. other friends stopped by telling many great stories with 67 in my graduating class we have excellent friendships.
the picture subject (courtesy Ed and Connie) - my initials are on Jackass Butte, what a great name, in sight and just above town.
I'm blessed to have such caring friends...
peace/love t

Terry, it was a blessing having you home for a visit, and I hope and pray that there will be more. I talked to Jeff yesterday and he told me that he was so glad that he took the time to stop and say hello to you, that it made him feel really good inside. I think we're all realizing that we're getting no younger and difficult circumstances and situations now face us more than usual. I truly admire your attitude about life, and even though you may not think so, you really are an inspiration to us all. Love you bro!
I check the hill regularly to see what new initials are up on the hill and usually know had to who they are honoring...I was stumped with your initials until I did my usual quick scan of locals blogs. It made me smile to know the initials were of a fighter like you! Good luck...
