We came here to see my good friend and Air Force buddy, Doug Harrison. As the park was quite a ways away from his place we were not able to hook up until dinner. So we got a lot of cleaning and maintenance done. Linda got all the accumulated laundry done while I cleaned the A/C filters and did some much needed maintenance on the refrigerator. It was not running at all on propane due to an accumulation of rust and debris on the burner. I got it all cleaned up and now it runs like new again.
Our visit with Doug and his wonderful family was short, but really heartfelt and also nostalgic. We met for dinner at a place called "Pinstripes" and as the valet was taking our car away, Doug and his two beautiful daughters pulled up right behind us. I recognized him right away even though it has been almost 40 years since I've seen him. Doug and I talked about old times and adventures in flying in the Air Force of course. But I also got to catch up on everything that has transpired in his life since then. He lived as an expat in Taiwan for several years before moving to Minneapolis with his charming bride, Gail. He has had many health issues and is like a cat with nine lives. He is now at the top of the kidney transplant list and I really pray that he gets a donor soon. Doug is one of the smartest guys I have ever known and is a model of integrity. I truly admire him for his tenacity and faith. We had such a great visit that it was suddenly time to go and it was not until after we said good-bye that I realized I had not taken any pictures! So once again, all you get is some snaps of the RV Park. Sorry.... I will really try to do better....
