Hey, let's face up to it that some of us are looking at the exit door.
So, maybe we could create a space here here we can get news about a departed Nomad.

Why Jan? From the grave?Oh maybe you mean about to be depated? Gotcha.It's kinda morbid but there are a lot of us oldsters here.For some reason, I
don't think the idea is gonna fly.Good thought tho....
After having read about your epic work to take care of your daughter, I thought that maybe Baja Nomad could create a forum that is a healing space for
remembrance.
Maybe someone will find a place to let the hurt out; maybe it will be distasteful to others.
I just don't want to lose memories of special people.

Wasn't he the guy that ran South of the Border MX...I was a member of that group until it suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth?? What
happened to him?

Mike Humphreyville belongs on such a list. He gets my vote as the best deceased nomad of all time. Yes, this is a bit morbid.
I just thought that may Baja Nomad maybe/might create a special place for Nomads that have passed.

I would be for the kind we see in newspapers. Don't know how we might learn about the demise of the Nomad whose stats would hold the post.
What I would not want to see is the other kind; the neverending memorial full of smarmy hyperbole a lot of which flows from people who did not know
the dead person in the least. Past streams of posts about Nomads who left us were more eulogy than statistics >> the kinds of things we say when
a movie star dies.
