Fellas, and ma'am - I contacted the owner of the property where Foot's pisshole blind is. I thought it'd be a good place to go after the service Wednesday and just hang out for a bit. Tony, the owner, told me Foot's waders are still hanging in the barn there and he graciously agreed that it'd be a great place to tell a story or two remembering John.

This won't be some fancy dinner, just a place big enough to park everyone and have a few beers overlooking one of John's favorite haunts in the barn where he kept his hunting gear and told lies.

I figure we can bring a few coolers of beer, maybe some sammiches, and raise a few to our friend.

I'd like to have an idea of how many of you boys, and girls, plan to attend the service and are interested in a get together for a few hours in a less "formal" way. Once I get an idea of who may be coming I'll look into some food of some sort.

This property is right next door to Columbia Bottoms CA and a short drive from the funeral home.

Thanks.

Scott
