Argone memorial
shadow boxer
The Finger Painter & Master Ranter
while the thread with everyones contributions above is testament in itself to how much Argone means to us, I think it fitting we offer a formal tribute.
I propose we assemble a document.
Each of us should submit an A4/A3 page of notes, musings, observations, images, favoured quotes from Argone, etc to a single US mailing address.
Then, the volunteer who assembles the document can post it on, to those who need to see it, when the time is right. IE after Mrs Kunichs recovery and all the other mountains of bureaucratic and general housekeeping crap associated with the death of loved ones, is done.
Those of you with rendering skills such as A2957 et al... here's your chance. I'll supply wingart for Argone shortly, which you are of course free to use in tribute.
Words count too. Don't be shy, this is the time to close ranks and fire off your salutes. He deserves nothing less....

I guess I'll figure out which address to post up and do it sometime. :)
And do we have to write a full page? I'm not a particularly wordy person when it comes to things like this.
It's a personal tribute.
Make it personal.
One word, one phrase, one thing that reminds you of Argone.
Sanfam can print it I guess, makes sense for us long distance persons, that said... if you cant make the effort to post one thin letter to the US... that doesnt say much for you.
Also remember those postmarks and evelopes from all over the world have an impact in themselves.
"Someone in Finland, of all places, valued George as a friend and comrade ? Wow.... "
Put in the effort fellas, make sure theres no escaping you mean it. This is what community is about. It's all very well to be fair weather Firstones, it's another to be there when one of us stumbles or falls.
Only disturbing thing is that I only got a B/W laser printer!

Here's an excerpt from a letter I recieved today.....
~~~~
" Ok here is the whole story, my father and mother, got every thing ready to go to the Buffalo court and Federal building 32 miles Northeast of home to get the proper papers and Tax Ids. The morning of Feb 25 they had to be there at 9:00 am. The day and night before it was snowing and bad out but he decided to go anyway since rescheduling would have taken forever. They took the Ford Taurus because she hated his nasty riding big 4 wheel drive truck. On the way into Buffalo a pickup driving south at a high rate of speed crossed the center line of the road and hit them head on. My father was not killed instantly he was able to get my mother out of the car before it caught fire and move her away from the wreak. How we do not know for his back was broke and he had serious internal injuries and passed away on the way to the hospital. The car was mostly burned and the driver of the other vehicle died at the wreak. The police report said that the other driver was doing at least 60 mph, would be almost 100 kph, on bad roads in a 40 mph zone.
My mother had a broken arm and leg on her left side a ruptured spleen and 3 broken ribs one puncturing her lung. She will be coming home Monday she is a strong woman but I am sure she is heart broken. "
