Ok, so looking into the very near future, all plans this weekend may be completely disrupted - please forgive me ahead of time.

The family storm clouds are gathering and Bill may be taking off for the Great Fishing Lake. He is 93 and his bio systems appear to be on fail.

Whether Bill makes a recovery or passes on, I would like to say ahead of time, Bill West - you have been the best possible step-grandpa that anyone could dream up over the last 36 years. Our whole family has been blessed by you being in it.
