And people signed up for everything from standard weekly small groups to egg art to fishing.

He would have been 80 years old on March 12th and, had he lived, he probably would have been wetting a line in Elk Creek, fishing with one of his sons or another young man who needed someone to talk to. He was a great listener, an even greater coach. He loved children, his own most of all, and I feel his loss more ardently with each passing day. Over the years, I've heard people say about those who have passed, "Not a day goes by that I don't think of them." I used to think it was just an expression, now I know better. My dad was an ...

At the end of the event, when the shoes and money were counted, the Vineyard OP community ...
