Ted, thank you for posting that picture. The three musketeers at Saratoga. Words fail me. I'm in such shock. My dear friend of many years is gone. I was so sure he would beat this dreadful disease. One of the kindest persons I've ever met. So giving of his knowledge, so patient, devoted to Theta, his whole family, his little granddaughter who was the apple of his eye, his church. I grieve for Theta, for our circle of friends, for myself, for all on this board. I will miss our long conversations on Skype, our Saturday afternoons spent doing races with our friend Pat (Old Arkie Gal), Theta tiptoing in to see how things were going with the "girls", winning some, losing some, always learning something, but most of all, having fun. You're in peace now dear Dick.
