Monday night – arraingments

Today was such a weird mix.. I was trying to work.. but… I just couldn’t get my mind around it.. At the same time, Diane and I are trying to help with the arraignments for Wednesday’s memorial service.. but I was having trouble doing that, too I keep thinking about Dylan and his family.. .. and where my head was just two days in.. Diane, Gabe and I are just in a fog….

Dylan’s Obit appeared in the Free Press today.. It was very sad and beautifully written..I lost it when I first read it..  they even mentioned our Sam.

DYLAN HENRY PETERS – WILLISTON – Dylan Henry Peters, 18, of Williston, left us for the terrain parks and powder stashes in the clouds on Thursday, April 7, 2011, following a car accident. He was born in Burlington on March 31, 1993, son of James and Susan (Greenfield) Peters and big brother to Dustin and Danielle Peters. Dylan was a passionate and adventuresome spirit who rolled to the beat of his own drum, happily shrugging off expected conventions, determined to do it his own way while finding fun in any situation. He was an ambitious, competitive snowboarder and amazing artist about to graduate from CVU and the Design & Illustration program at BTC. Dylan lived every second to beyond fullest, inspired many and made every ordinary moment funny. Talented, yet humble, no challenge was too big. He just had to figure out how to get it done. Dylan always supported his friends spanning many walks of life. His last gift was donating life to numerous others. A celebration of Dylan’s spirit will be held Wednesday, April 13, 2011, at 1:30 p.m. at the Bolton Valley Resort Main Base Lodge. https://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=194586013911014 Memorial contributions may be made to the Dylan Peters Art of Snowboarding Fund c/o Sue and Jim Peters, 1102 Ledgewood Drive, Williston, VT 05495, to support future snowboarding and art endeavors for kids. Shred the skies dude. Hug Sam for us. Live large. Peace

As you see above, Sue and Jim have set the time of Dylan’s memorial..   It’s going to be at Bolton Lodge at 1:30 on Wednesday afternoon . If the weather holds we’ll all gather behind the lodge.. and the speakers will be on the porch where the shwag tosses are after events. If the weather doesn’t hold, we’ll figure out something else..  The idea is to share stories and music about Dylan’s life.. then have a Rail Jam .. Bolton is closed, so we need to set up a mini park ourselves.. If you’re available to help move the rails before and after the event , please let me know.After the Rail Jam, we’re planning a potluck inside.. please bring food enough to share..
Complete details about the event can be found here on Facebook
