Lixy---Sorry to get back to you so late.I just saw this thread.Don't
blame yourself for not knowing.My wife & I,found,last year,that a friend had been dead for 2/3yrs.I knew him from a motorcycle bar,
and a job,but we only knew him by his nickname.One day in the
newspaper,we saw an article,that a local motorcycle club,was
having a "Poker"run,with the proceeds being donated to Thomas
Manettes son,for his college fund.It then went on to say that
Thomas Manette(who was known as Boomer)was a long time member of the motorcycling community.My wife&I,had only known him as Boomer,and didn't know that he had died.I had stopped drinking and didn't go in the motorcycle barThere is a cross,on the
esplanade,of the road where he died! Irish
