Hi Jaime,

I would be interested in attending Bernie's memorial in Spring Valley. We had probably talked or ran into each other a good 6-8 times both in Baja and in Cal. I also had the privilege to interview Bernie on Baja Talk Radio show about 8 years ago. What a wealth of knowledge he was. I don't think I have a copy, but will look and see. If so, I will get it to you.

Thanks,
Ted

hi gary, its jaime here.
Thank you for the info. gads, Bernie and I must have had just too much fun down there last time, cause I swear its there. Thank you for the kind words about Bernie, I also wanted to read another book, but, he informed me " I have you, I have no time for anything else." And he was a man of his word, and made me his "all". Bernie was a man of his word, with very strong values morals and principles. He loved mexico more than anything, and I know he will be missed by many.

hi to ELINVESTIG8R
what a beautiful pic you did for Bernie.
Yes, he will be waiting for you on the other side....he and I are very spiritual and believe in it.
I am an avid marlin fisherwoman, and I hope....on the other side...the fishing is free........
I thank you for the post, and the fine words.
Jaime.

Yes, our celebration of life for Bernie is at the san diego police pistol range. it is on august 10, from 4-7. I would love to see, and meet you. Also, we are having friends of Bernies speak, can I put you on our list? Our order is... California family, Baja family, then the police will take over! It should be a fun time.........Jaime

Hi Jaime -
I would love to say a few words about my grandpa at the service and I am sure his daughters and my brother would as well.

Thanks,

this photo above was taken on our patio at the house in La Salina. We spent a lot of time there sorting seashells, building rocket ships and grandma always shared her oreos after long walks on the beach.

Shelley and I had such a wonderful time visiting with Bernie and Jaime, et al, at Shari's patio after our whale watching expedition. Wish I could make the memorial service, but I'll be about half way to Bahia on that Saturday doing a clinic with the Flying Sam's. May Bernie's family have a wonderful service.

Hi Jaime,

Unfortunately I can not commit to speaking as I will be arriving from the airport and driving over. I am not sure exactly what time I will be there. Honored to go though.
