Thanks for the ping Issaquahking, and thank you for posting those great pictures.
I have been meaning to post on the thread for the last few days. Just haven’t been able to decide what to post.
Mr Tonkin has been and will be missed.
During the Klamath water issue during 2001/2002, I used to visit with him in the middle of the night. When I couldn’t sleep, I could always count on Tonk being online to chat for awhile. I remember us discussing the Klamath water problems and sports (Chicago Bears).

I’m late. We’ve been gone all week and I’m so sad to read this news tonight. Brian will be missed dearly, but I am consoled that he’s joined an astute gathering of Eagles in our Father’s mansion.
Save me a seat, my dear FRiend.
