Most clear thinking--it must be the air where you are.

You were correct! The database was set to have a max of 32,767 views. I've changed the setting to allow a max now of 8,388,607.

The reply counter should max at 32,767. I'll check.

Edit:
Reply counter works fine.

Bruce, JR's brother. Thanks for the posts. JR was one interesting fellow. Please keep them coming.

I understand that there was a memorial for JR just after Christmas. For purely selfish reasons, I feel a bit disappointed over the timing. I was under the impression that it was going to be help after the new year. I wanted to try and set up a fund to support some of JR's favorite causes, and the memorial would have been a great place to start. I understand you are having problems using the pm function here, and my posting abilities are subject to the proprietors whims. Is there any way you could post your e-mail addy so I can contact you?

polloatician - sorry about your not being notified of the memorial service. Carol and I did our best to both notify everyone we could think of, and to find a date that was convenient for a majority. Due to the limitations on the space and facilities available to us (Carol's place @ La Barca and the parking lot in front) we decided not to make a general announcement on the Nomads board. As it turned out, the friends and relatives maxed us out. Even worse, I didn't even think about trying to take pictures. Hopefully, some of the attendees did take some pics and might feel like posting them here.

Bruce, I was notified about the memorial just prior to it, but had prior plans. I'm sure JR would forgive me and my wife. I will send you an e-mail and explain what I have in mind regarding some sort of memorial fund.

Thanks. Tom/ MeNo

Bruce, I found this picture of JR and me at Lake Isabella, Circa 1985. Hope you don?t mind that I post it and the story. Keep the history coming. Love it. Dave

In the fall of 1985 my wife and I drove up the coast then cut across to spend some time in Yosemite. JR and his wife were camping at Lake Isabella so on our way home we met up with them and camped for a few days. JR had his Zodiac boat with him and he and I decided to go out fishing late one afternoon. We headed for the far side of the lake but it got dark pretty quick and we were a little buzzed. (a lot buzzed) We could see the lights of the campground in the distance and headed in that direction. Not one to waste time, JR had the throttle wide open when we hit a sand bar. We flew out of that boat a good 20 yards screaming the whole way. We splashed down in about 2 feet of water and just sat there and laughed.
