A Special Day

 Today was definitely a Tromper day.  Our group has been having adventures for over 40 years and today we had a party for one of our members who will be moving.

Mark Richardson and wife Julie will be moving to Castlegar, B.C., to be near family - too far away to conveniently interact with us in future.

We met in Paris, Ontario and did a token hike of a couple of kilometres along the Nith River.


Along the way we were serenaded by "Doc" Jewett.


Lunch at the Paris Beer Company, where Mark was presented with a book of Tromper memories by our leader Gary.


Lots of great memories were shared.  Happy times!

The cast of characters............


.............did I mention we've been at this for a long time?  David, just a few days short of his 66th birthday, is the kid in the group.

A special bunch of guys!  We all wish Mark and Julie happiness as they embark on their latest adventure.

'Till we meet again, au revoir my friend.

Even a Blue Jays loss couldn't dampen the joy of today.

Stay well.
