Thanksgiving 2015

Well it has been three years and eight months plus since Marilyn died.  I left her picture and obituary as the latest post in this blog for that  entire period of time.  Now on Thanksgiving three years later, I can only express my gratitude and thankfulness for our fifty-five years together.

Life doesn't and didn't stop for me, although it threatened to for quite awhile..  I have been doubly fortunate.

Anyhow, this is me in the recent past.  Still riding.  I will begin to post more as life continues and time progresses.  Marilyn would want it.

Marilyn M. Somers, 70, of Rumson, NJ passed away Friday March 16, 2012 after a brave battle with ovarian cancer. She was born in New York, NY to her parents William and Virginia Miller and lived in Cresskill, NJ and Mequon, WI before moving to Rumson in 1975. She was predeceased by her parents. Marilyn is survived by her husband, Willard C Somers; her sons, Tom Somers of Arlington VA and Will Somers, Jr. and his wife Karen of Rancho Palos Verdes, CA.; grandchildren Will III and Derek Somers and her brother Richard Miller and his wife Lynne of Hilton Head, SC. Her love for family and grandchildren was deep and enduring. Marilyn was an active member of the First Presbyterian Church at Red Bank (Tower Hill), and served two terms as an Elder of the congregation. She was a leader in the Vision for the Hill building program, and active at the Sea Bright Beach Club. By profession, Marilyn was an English teacher. She enjoyed bridge, was good at all puzzles, and so enjoyed solving them that she entered and won competitions. A memorial service was held at 11:30am on March 31,2012 at First Presbyterian Church at Red Bank (Tower Hill) Memorial donations may be made in Marilyn’s memory to the church.

Well - now we have a new podium - A lot is happening - Watch this spot over the next few weeks.

Thanks - and thanks to all for thoughts and prayers.
