Rather than search out all of the threads you folks responded on with your kind thoughts and sympathies, I take this opportunity to thank all of you who offered your kind thoughts and prayers in our difficult time.
My father in law was probably more of a father to me than either of the ones I came with. I only hope that I can live up to the example he set.
Thankyou again to all who posted. I'm sure the pain goes away eventualy and I look forward to getting back on the rivers soon.
Ted (grumpyr)
