(Continued from previous message)
raucous laughter and smart-@$$ remarks. <G>
Tom gets back to his seat, and Wayne (making like nothing had even
happened), said "In keeping with the seriousness of the evening"...it
was interrupted by a shout from Tom...."IT FITS!!" (we got the size
right). At the end of the evening, they had given Clive this clock,
noting "NUMA, BEER, AND ALE...AND GOOD BEER"...Clive, grinning wryly,
pointed to Tom, and said "Why don't you give it to him?? He needs a
watch!!" <BG>.
After the dinner meeting, there was the book signing, and Tom was
trying to find out who did it. He finally came to my Mom and I, and we
confessed. <G>
Well, I had taken a picture of my Mom and Clive, and Tom took that
picture (unknown to us), and enlarged it...then had everyone at the next
years convention, sign it. At that event, Wayne unrolls this thing,
looking directly at my Mom, "stupidly" asks "Does anyone know who I'm
supposed to give this to??". My mouth, and my Mom's just dropped in
surprise!! She was crying tears of joy, and saying "ME!! ME!! ME!!" <G>
She always treasured that, and I had it on display at her funeral 8
months ago. Sadly, while typing this, I got teary eyed...the same way
when I think of so many memories with my late wife. I guess the tears
are a combination of the loss of them, but also the wonderful memories
that no one can take away.
