My first encounter with Bud was the time he joined a group of us to celebrate Dan French's birthday at the Emerald Queen Casino--in the days when it was a fabulous river boat. Regret now that I didn't learn more about his forestry background.

Uncle Bud was a strong influence in my forestry career. In 1967 I was all set to become an Oregon State beaver. Always the Husky, Uncle Bud asked me what I would be doing on Saturdays when the rest of the family was watching Husky football in Seattle. 'Nuf said! Went to Washington! Will miss you greatly, Uncle Bud.

The things I remember most about Uncle Chuck were our clam digging days and the time we spent with Bam and Bumpa on the Cranberry Bog. I always had the up most respect for Uncle Chuck and will always remember him as a strong moral man. I'll never forget you Uncle Chuck.

I will always remember the way Papa loved his great-grandchildren, and how he would occasionally get down on his hands and knees to chase after Nathaniel. Those two had a very special bond that will be missed.
As a little girl, dancing on the tops of your feet, you holding me up, you spinning me about. You were my rock, my foundation. I was safe with you in the lead. I felt that way as a young child and still feel it to this day. I am so grateful for all you have done and all that you have been to me. I will miss you.

One of my fondest memories of Dad are the times we went hiking together in and around Mount Rainier National Park. He taught me to keep my eye on the goal, and take it slow and steady, rather than trying to rush along. It worked in hiking, and it works in life. Thanks, Dad, for pointing the way.
