Mike's Farewell Party

M - 2-11-2007 at 03:19 PM

This is rather presumptuous (?) of me, but, I REALLY had to look for the party info. Maybe we can start a fresh thread?
That was the BEST party of the year and I am sure Mike would have been proud. I am hoping somebody has a photo of his final resting place in Baja?
Hugs, M

M, it is placed at the very top of the General board and this morning I put a note about yesterday in it...

I have a photo of Mike's grave, yes... As it is virtually unmarked, until a head stone is added, I want to get an okay from Mary Ann before I post it here...

Interesting...... I reduced and reduced this pic until my computer said it was @ 50kb.

But when I slide my cursor onto the picture it says the pic is 37.47 kb......?? maybe I'll try replacing it with a little higher res pic.

Bedman,
If you post any of me, I'll assume that you'll do that magical thing you do with the photos...I'd like to request to smooth out a few wrinkles and be back in bikini form:lol:

Post away, I can't wait to see the results!

Good chin job Steve... How much did it cost Matt for the chin lift?:biggrin:

Do you have me down for a tummy tuck???:lol:

I almost fainted when I walked in the door. Mike's friend Barsam, who hosted the party, bears a marked resemblance to Mike..Hawaiian shirt, gray beard.

It did not take long for our group to assemble out on the patio. All of us, with one exception, met "pre-Nomad" on the old Amigos board years ago. It was a general consensus that:

  1. Time flies by too quickly
  2. Good friends are never forgotten
  3. We need to spend more time in Baja


Adios, Mike
Vaya con Dios

WELL SAID JEANS,

M - 2-13-2007 at 12:36 PM

It was such a blessing to see old and dear friends. Agreed, we need to have more gatherings. The only thing I was sorry for was that it should have been in an auditorium or similar. The crowd easily exceeded 150 if not more. I would have loved to hear some speaches RE favorite Mike moments. Perhaps at the booksigning we can corect that since he finally did realise his dream of a book.
Mindy, it was wonderfull seeing you and glad you drove up with us, however, I am so sorry for crapping out on the way home, I was just exhausted and my back was buggin me a bit.
Let me know when you are going to be in Laguna Niguel area again. HEY, that goes for ANY Nomads that comes my way. Would love to meet old and new friends for coffee or lunch.
Hugs,
M

marla - 2-20-2007 at 12:54 PM

I got called in to work so I had to miss the event which I am even more sorry now that I see the photos! Who's going to sell Mike's book at the book signing? Perhaps I can arrange to come this year.....

David K - 2-20-2007 at 06:38 PM

Hi Marla,

You can expect to see Mary Ann there... perhaps the boys and Debra too???

It was really something to see how many people were there to honor Mike and his spirit of sharing!!
