Our friend and neighbor Mel passed away a week ago last Tuesday. (here’s his obit)  He’d been ill for some time but still managed to get out on his motorcycle.  I was over there tonight seeing if we could help Mel’s wife Jane with anything. We stood for a long time looking through  Mel’s motorcycle stuff.. the helmets and jackets he’d worn his tools..  It was sad and  nice seeing all these things that meant so much to him.

There’s going to be a gathering for Mel at Bridge Street Cafe this Sunday from 2-4 . If you knew Mel or his family please join us there..

nite all, nite sam
