Another year has almost passed. Think of you often, more now that I am sick. 33 yrs this thurs, I might get to see you sooner than later. Just have missed your sense of humor and insight into almost every complicated matter. Respected the heck out of you. Was given a 2011 Rose Parade AND Rose Bowl ticket guide, when I am there will remember our times working Colorado Blvd. This yr is for you Bill! Knew you were my love, only couldn't commit, sorry --always have loved you. 33 yrs later. Rest in peace this holiday season. Know I have never forgotten stolen moments and the love of life we had. Never to be retrieved.
