Why they happen that way...............
Was online reading the e-paper again, only to see that a kid I've known for nearly 50 years died of prostate cancer? This guy was driven. I mean; trumpet first chair from 7th grade on, business entrepreneur when the rest of us were trying to scrape up pop-bottle money - you know the guy. Another one of those you just don't expect to see on that page. At the bottom of his obit it said: "Consider a donation to the Huntsman Cancer Institute". Huh................
I immediately sent a text to my buddy out in Cali, as I know he probably knew him better than I. Not five seconds after I sent that message I heard an email notification. The absolute nicest and inspired women in our local congregation made a donation. It's 5:00 in the morning. Talk about the things that stop you in your tracks. Thanks, Yana. You are simply amazing.
And you wonder why I ride.
Diadhacd John!
