Parker was the one who did the PCT a few years ago.  Freud updated me daily as I had hiked it long ago at the same age.  I made it a point to lecture his grandson Parker to make sure he didn't rush through it all in a blaze of speed or while wearing blinders.  And to remind him that although we sometimes think we might hike something like the PCT again in our lives -- it doesn't always happen later.  Enjoy it all when you can and when you are doing it.

Brett.  Your G'Pa was quite the person.  He will be missed terribly but he will never be forgotten.  Last time I saw him, he gave me several items from his archive to put on my wall as he wasn't sure if he'd make it back to Bonneville itself much less Australia.  He will be the first to admit that he was tired and wasn't sure if a return visit would happen.  He always said he'd love to have some of his "essence" spread across the salt one day when he wasn't walking amongst the rest of us.  Glad you will make that wish happen.

Your G'Pa talked for quite awhile on getting his name done up as a Ford logo for a necklace.  After the stroke, I doubted he would be sporting jewelry much anymore.  Made him this and hopefully it helped remind him when alone in his room of all the good people he called friends over the years and decades. 

He was a good man and has a great legacy with friends that you should definitely be proud of.  Hopefully he shared a lot of it with you... but don't be afraid to ask us stories as I'm sure he hasn't told you them all! =)

Gary Freud here, Freud's son. I have the light you made him in my office. Sometimes I turn it on and just think of all the great memories I had with him. Thank you so much for building this light it meant a lot to Freud just as it does to me.

Gary,

For your dad:

Never forget . . . . .
Science, NOT Magic . . . .

I used to be a people person.  But people changed that relationship.

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."     Albert Einstein

Gary:

Your Dad was a great man. I was lucky to know him and miss his wit and insight everyday.

Take care,

BR

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but pulling up over the hill with the first look at the salt it brought back fond memories of Doc.  I don't think that will ever change.

Today would have been dad's 90th birthday. I'm certain he is causing mischief and celebrating with mom. Happy Birthday to the original "most interesting man in the world!"

Happy Birthday Freud, I miss your phone calls talking about everything, not just LSR. Here is a picture I took of you doing something you loved, that includes one of your best friends.

I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

Happy Birthday Freud. Miss your friendship.

Freud and I had talked about him joining one of my "guided tours" of Hwy. 93.  We never got there.  This year, by myself, I couldn't help from missing him again.  I rejoiced in the times we spent together -- lots about silly stuff.  Lots of hijinx, lots of laughter, lots of memories.

Freud... easy to miss hard to forget....
So happy we got you a bike ride, and I know we were both glad the Busa crapped out and you ended up on Nick's bike...
Fond memories always my friend.  :cheers:
