Ode To Dick

                                                          A GREAT PARTY FOR A GREAT FRIEND !

Dick on the left



A few momentos of a great career




Cheryl making prepartions in the kitchen
So much good food!!

He's been working for an Airline
Most of his darn life
He's flown for over thirty nine years
and he still has the same wife
He flew the Herc up in the far North
The Boeing near and far
DC-10. Airbus and 'Triple'
The guy deserves a star

Where'd the time all go
Golly, we don't know
Wasn't it just yesterday ay-ay
that we were all young
work was so much fun
never thought we'd see this day

Castlegar,Terrace.Regina,
Inuvik,Toronto, -o-o
Amsterdam, London and China
Sydney and Tokeeeyo

No more Sims for you to do
No more bids for you to screw -ew-uh-up
Time to file a new flight plan
Living life the best you can!




This looks like the group that just left Lake Sakinaw today,
some waiting at the ferry for hours.

Randy and Don Kramer (from Edmonton
and Sierra Madre) 
 
Dick with his brother, Ken, also a pilot
 
Everyone to the tables for lobster and fresh salmon,
 I didn't get  a photo of salmon, delicious!!

Ray and Christine (from Edmonton and
Sierra Madre)

All the way from Colorado for a party?
 
Many friends to greet with over seventy attending


It would not be a party without Makaleah, who loves to
be hostess.





A few words from Dick






Incredible Lobster!!!




What a great gathering.  I missed a few people on the photos
 
  
Lorna, Cyndy, Ray



These two flight attendants worked with Dick many years and
wrote the above, Ode to Dick. Sorry that I didn't get their names.


Casey and Connor roasted Dad with:
Capitan Ferguson- The Pilot and
Capitan Ferguson- Our Dad
It was very funny and enjoyed by all.
Bryce played it safe and took charge of photography




Lorna Kramer has everyone on the floor dancing







   

Lots of good conversation and reconnecting
with friends.  The matching shirts provided by our generous friend Don Kramer is to indentify,
' The Sierra Madre Boys'

Lobster flown in from Nova Scotia
and cooked by friends.



What a fun party in a beautiful garden setting with
good food, good wine and good friends!










  



Lots of familiar faces
 
Who enjoyed the party more than
little Jack dancing with Lorna?


The host and hostess,
the morning after.
