Hi Guys, I may not be able to make the run this year, I lost my little mate Margie after 49 years this morning. Pretty devastated at the moment but I had to express my feelings somewhere. Maybe I'll make an effort to get together later.

Peter
Sorry to hear about your loss, I lost my mate of 42 years a little over a month ago so I know what you are going through.

The Legion here has helped me in more ways than you know as I have a place to go and talk to get my mind off things.

What Rick said, it will help, and if I was there I would buy the first shout in memory of your wife.
