Hello Randy,
Wow! I am at a loss for words. I just read your post about Bev today. The last time I talked to her on the phone (-6087) I never dreamed she would leave before I did.
I guess our time here is a privilage not to squander. The baton is now passed on to Paula Jean. I hope it serves her well and that she never gives up the task that her father Dusty started.

Dusty & Bev together again, as it should be. Maybe now they can prospect together.

I humbly and sorryfully say Goodby.
