Condolences to one of our own
« on: January 13, 2015, 11:00:00 PM »
We trad shooters / hunters are a unique bunch.  A current thread is highlighting and celebrating the writings of various authors related to traditional archery, hunting, conservation and philosophy.

I read a news release yesterday morning about the death of Don Thomas' mother.  I only met Don very briefly at a Colorado Traditional Archery Society Banquet. I've always enjoyed Don's writings and insight / philosophy of life and hunting and I always save his articles in Traditional Bowhunter, for last.

My deepest condolences to Don and his family on such a loss.  For those interested, you can read about his mother (and a bit about his father)    here . ; Truly an amazing family.

Warmest regards and deepest sympathy,
homebru

I have a friend who received a bone marrow transplant last year and is now doing very well in his fight against luekemia.  I had no idea where the bone marrow transplant process came from.  Many thanks to Dr. and Mrs Thomas.

What a remarkable lady. Condolences to Don and the family.
The years accumulate on old friendships like tree rings, during which time a kind of unspoken care and loyalty accrue between men.
