Happy birthday Allen, May you rest in peace to a great neighbor, mentor, fellow musician, and most of all great friend.  The west fork river valley community is watching out for Barb and the homeplace, although we all miss you greatly, rest comfortably knowing Barb and the kids are doing ok.
Keep the jeeps warmed up and the beer cold till we meet again on the other side.

I cannot remember what year this calendar is from, but this just happened to be where I stopped turning it.  It has been this way for a few years, now I can't bring myself to change it.

You never know what the next moment holds... He was a great friend and is missed daily, just thought of him a day or so ago.

I was just thinking about him the other day myself. The Willys Reunions just aren't going to be nearly as funny without him.
 
BTW Doug, that's our 2009 calendar.

Still have an unopened bottle of Frontenac from Iowa  from West Fork Winemakers 2010 that I see everyday........I can't see the cork ever being pulled out of it now.
 
                                 Rest easy Allen.

roc, how about we crack it open in his memory at the spring reunion?  Or, I will bring something similar and we will knock it back in his memory.
