Happy Birthday, Dennis!
Our friendship with Dennis and Linda began when our son Jimmy joined Boy scout Troop 86. The first time Jim met Dennis, he was advising the scouts on reducing the weight of their packs by cutting the handles off their toothbrushes. Not that he was a fanatic, because he didn't tear the tags off teabags the way SOME hikers did. Jim's thought was "Who IS this guy?!"
Further evidence of Dennis' intense nature was revealed through his hiking journals, with dry observations and excruciating details, most memorable being methods of taking care of nature calls while sleeping in a hammock. Marge's thought was "Who IS this guy?!"
Beyond scouting and hiking, we became friends with Dennis and Linda, and cherish the social times we have shared, including Dennis' marathon stories. We look forward to lots more, and expect the stories will get longer and more elaborate as we all become old codgers.....
