It has been many years since last seeing any of you and have not been in touch with Tracy either. Have been living in NV but now am in Riggins, Idaho where I hope to stay for a very long time. I have very fond memories of my years and association with Tracy and knew her to be a wonderful person and friend. It's difficult to know what to say at a time like this, just know my heart is full of sorrow for all of you. If you ever come to Riggins, my # is in the book as well as my parents LaVar & Lila who have also moved here. Come fishing!!!
