He was a nice guy. I guess he's gone back to wearing a suit everyday, or else he's "plowing the big cornfield in the sky". Anybody know?

I can only think of one person whose funeral I would go to just to make sure he was dead. I would also whizz on his grave but I don't like to stand in lines.

Allmost all of the old folks who started the Missouri River Valley Steam Engine Assn.here are gone. The knowledge they took with them is just flat gone. There was an old dozer man here by the name of Hubert Koeing. I was having trouble with the pony motor on my D-2 and told my dad I would have to visit with Hubert to see what the trouble was. Come to find out Hubert died that morning about 2 hours before I was thinking about him. There is no one left close that knows one iota of what he did. I guess that is the way it has always gone.

The next generation of indians probably lamented; "Damn, I just can't make arrowheads like ole Running Bear could"

We sure do need a system of keeping touch with folks. I was just getting started on here and remember when a fella up north by the handle of cornfused passed away. I could tell a lot of folks really liked him.

Great! I've been out of town and did not go back more than a couple of pages since I've been back. Glad he is back with us. mike

Mike: Interesting, for the folks unaware of your whereabouts, they could have been asking the same about you. It's just proof, we should have a buddy system, basically someone nearby who you know well, and can confide in when away, or ill, or worse. The buddy could than notify forum users.

I've been around here 8 years now, lot of folks have come and gone, but with most of them, GONE WHERE? YT has a memorial page, not more than a 1/2 dozen in there. I think we should make our families aware of that page. 60 years ago we put obituaries in the local newspaper and that got just about everyone the guy knew. 60 years ago I also started school in a one room school at Elmsvale NS, doubt if my parents knew anyone other than relatives more than 100 miles away. We are now world communicators and must move with the times.

Very well said Hugh. Like alot of people, I have alot of "internet friends" as well as lots of other face-to-face friends that I've become acquainted with through the years who all live to far away to see any local-printed obituary(not that I'm expecting one anytime soon!).

Thing is, none of my family or local friends know any of these people or are even aware they exist in my life for the most part. If something was to happen, it'd just be "hmmm....haven't heard from ol' Ron in a long time now" and that's about it.

Then again...it could wind up like one old-timer said...."I bet I have a real big funeral...there's sure to be alot of people show up just to make good and sure I'm finally dead"

Ron: I liked the last statment. I was at a large funeral, after the comittal service one of the sons of the deceased came up to me and said, "Not sure whether the old man was that popular, or did folks just show up to be sure he was dead."
