    Mac and I were picked up Friday morning by his former law associates Henry and Patricia who had moved to Colorado earlier that year from Memphis to be close to the mountains.  We rode south of Colorado Springs about an hour and then up into the mountains over the most impossible road bouncing our gonads all the way.  Once at 8,000 feet we parked and hiked up to the 12,000 foot level enjoying a serenity  of place and time, of friendship and sharing deeply felt by all of us.  The glorious mountains filled my soul to overflowing.  This was truly one of the Creators sacred places.  Henry and Patricia proved to be most special people and I was priviledged to spend such a day with them and with my oldest friend Mac Dickinson.  Later we shared a meal at a quaint country restaurant that served only two things on the menu each night, at two separate seatings, while we enjoyed a wonderful duo sing western songs.
    It was a day to remember and this is how I prefer to remember Mac.  Wish we had more time to spend doing such things before cancer claimed him.
