Even with the excitement of publishing a new book, and hearing from so many who have purchased it in one form or another, today is rather sad for me–something which brings everything right back to earth. And that is the passing of a very good friend.
Our friend, in his late 70s, hasn’t been in the best of health the past few years, but this is very unexpected! I intend to write more about our good friend, Bob, in future posts, but at the moment I’m going to step away from the blog, forego any marketing and promoting of THE GOOD LUCK HIGHWAY, and reflect on the many memories I have about Bob and our times together.
Like that freight train out there right now, slowly passing the water tower, our lives are here but for a moment and then are gone away down the tracks. Goodbye, old friend!…CortlandWriter

I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend. I look forward to learning more about him.
Thank you, Anita. I’m just a bit bummed out and down right now, but I will be sure to share my thoughts about this terrific friend in a future post or two. Right now, things are rather “empty” around here. Thank you for your thoughts…
I’m so sorry for your loss, Mark. Hopefully your great memories will provide you with peace.
Thank you, Jill. The memories abound and everything will be OK. I appreciate your nice thoughts…
