 The community lost Jack Harrison, Chip Hasse, Steve Niles, and Kevin Gresham during this period. A Memorial was held for Kevin at Davidson's Landing on March 12. Over 120 of Kevin's friends showed up for potluck, spirits, stories, and fellowship for the two to three day service.  Kevin was a rugged individualist, a free spirit, freedom loving, and stand up sort of guy. Under that rough exterior beat a heart of gold. "Top Hat Charley" we will miss you! Picture follows, click to enlarge.
