Sorry you didn’t get the chance to know Tonk. He was a great guy and a real character at times. :-)

Thank you very much, that is the kind of things he did. Reading through some of the old Freepers name that are gone for whatever reason, it was good then not as much rancor, there was always some but not like now.

I second that, BB...he was a kind soul. I “met” him on the way to the cemetery.

Good evening, eye...I finally learned to spell his name, Yatch, and then several years later he was able to get it changed to Yacht and keep his start date and all his postings. To this day I have to think before spelling.

Rest In Peace, dear Tonk, and our prayers remain with your loved ones. Just had a brand new Coastie stay at the hotel last night on the way to her first assignment out of the Academy. Thought of you right away.
