There's no arguing those comments. Rome was a good man indeed.

May his soul rest in heavens.

At the rate older members are dying, maybe we should have a memorial topic in the forum.

Rome Spirit is in·del·i·ble on Hang Gliding at Sylmar, he was part of a Louis and Clark expedition that established Hang Gliding in these mountains.

He made many efforts to keep Dodson Road open to launch battling erosion and rain storms. A political issue exists as to weather he could have used a stemcell inhaler to extend his quality of life. 60 minutes thinks otherwise.
I should not be but am still sad he is gone.
