Thanks for posting Nan.

Did you get the email I sent?

Thanks again

Jim

I had not been back on the Allis Forum until tonight, so not sure I had an e-mail from you.

The tributes to Gil have been so great and am sure he would be humbled by them.

I am slowly recuperating from his passing and know it will take time; lots of it.

Thanks for posting Nan.

I don't have my magazine yet, but assume the article about Gilbert is the one I wrote up from his obit and information I knew from over the years.  There are so many stories so many of us can tell and, just like you and the WF, that is what makes the memories for us all.

We talked almost daily on the phone and I certainly miss picking up the phone, or picking it up to call him.  Beyond that, he always called me on Saturday night about 9 and I called him at 6 on Sunday evening.  A couple of weeks before his passing, he called me on Saturday morning.  When I asked him, "What's up?" he told me he was just calling to tell me he was going to call me that night.   Nan

You were right to schedule a time to talk with Gilbert. I had a friend that was sick. Every Tuesday night I would call. At the end he would not answer but I left a message. Later his family said that was the best thing and he looked forward to the phone calls. As you know now that was the best thing for you and Gilbert.

Jim,

When the little one knows all the AC stuff you can remember then it is time to break out the story of "Why fire trucks are red". The trick is to tell it like Gilbert did.
