Just read on Facebook that the Little Nashville Opry in Nashville, IN burned down yesterday.  What a sad story.  I went to a bunch of Statler concerts there and to Jimmy's show there a few years ago.  As of now, the cause is unknown.

They had a wall of pictures on the stars that had performed there over the years.  A lot of those pictures can never be replaced.

Thanks Bob for taking the time to plan these get togethers.

How about getting together Thursday evening at the Irish Alley resturaunt for those that do make it into Staunton Thursday.  Then meeting again Friday for lunch at the Depot Grille.  Although I love the park, but what happens if it rains or is really really really cold?

I will be at the festival this year.  I haven't seen any postings about a get together on Thursday night.  Does anyone know if we are getting together for dinner Thursday night like we have done in the past??

Carolyn and Dan,

I too am sorry to hear of your loss.  I will certainly keep your whole family in my thoughts and prayers.

Just got a posting on Facebook from my niece.  Jack is having more surgery today.  I don't know what this surgery is for, but I will keep you postedThey also moved him to a different floor in the hospital.  Which makes my niece happy.  She said that the nursing staff that is taking care of him is horrible.

I want to thank everyone once again for your thoughts and prayers.

Max and Pam, I believe my brother does wear a helmet.  He lives in Arizona and even in the heat of the summer he wears it.  I know it is scary to drive in states that don't have the helmet law.    This is Jack's second accident on his motorcycle that we know of.  I think that is pretty good because he has been riding motorcycles since the 70's.  And I don't think you could ever get him off of them.  Even after this accident.  He loves them that much.

Hi everyone!!!  I know I don't post often on here, but I really would like to ask for prayers for my brother, Jack.  From what I have been told, Monday, he was riding his motorcycle and got "clipped" by a car.  He crashed his motorcycle and is in the hospital now.  He had surgery on his foot and is in a lot of pain.   And his whole right side is very swollen and he can barely move his right side. They expect him to be in the hospital until the 11th. 

I am very grateful that his injuries weren't any worse.  On a lighter side, he did tell my mom that he held his temper after the accident.

Thanks a bunch!!!

John,

I believe what you are thinking about was written by Michael Landon himself.   I read somewhere after Michael's death that he wrote it.  I think is going like this:

"Remember me with Smiles and Laughter, for that is how I will remember you.  If only remember me with tears, then don't remember me at all."

I used to have it written down, but somehow over the years I lost it.
