While puttering around today, still in some shock after learning about John's passing, I came up with this thought. Wanted to run it by all on the Forum for your input. What would you think about wearing a black cloth patch with a photo of John fastened to it when we attend any of the Allis shows this year? This would be a symbol of mourning/respect for our friend and probably would cause a lot of people who didn't know John or did not know of his passing to ask about it.

I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not sure.

We would need to wear one for Jack Gustafson then too.

Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.

Went down to Paxton this afternoon for John's wake, gave his wife Barb and family our condolences, Just got home. I think the patches are a good idea. John was a close FRIEND.
