Subject: Re: Up's and downs of life - actually, LAB Author: Lisa Black [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 03:44:37 04/30/03 Wed In reply to: Bruce Wilson 's message, "Up's and downs of life - actually, LAB" on 20:53:21 03/28/03 Fri Hi Bruce (Baby Bro') I just found this web site so I am just now getting a chance to read your message. I got a message from your brother Scotty a couple of weeks ago, and it really made my day. It set me to thinking about all three of you "Wilson Boys" and the good times we once had. I am very glad to hear that you have settled into a happy life and feel blessed. I too feel blessed by God's generosity. I have been happily married for 18 years. I have a daughter who is now six. When she was four, she was diagnosed with a rare and life threatening genetic condition. Without the strength I got from my friends past and present, my teachers, my family and most of all my faith in God, I don't know how we would have gotten through it. Now, thank God and medical science, there is a treatment that can allow her to live a normal life. That in a nutshell is the greatest UP after the greatest DOWN I ever hope to experience. I also have a career that I enjoy (teaching law school,) a pleasant home in a city I love (San Diego,) and a kind and funny husband, so I believe I have found happiness. I wish you peace.

[> Subject: Re: Up's and downs of life - actually, LAB Author: Carl Speicher [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:41:31 12/28/03 Sun Bruce, so happy to hear that your life is going well. Could I say a few things about a person I think about every day of my life, your brother Bryan? Bryan was the kind of friend and the kind of person you meet only once in a lifetime. He was just a friend of Greg's until he jumped into a bar-fight I was in up in Austin, when all my other friends ran away. He very well might have saved my life. His trumpet playing, his sense of humor, his intelligence, his love of cars and his passion for life. You are right about the flip-side of life back then. Bryan and I were living on the edge every chance we got and my memories of those days are just to be happy to be alive. I was out-of-state when things got rough in Bryan's life, and there is guilt that I was not there to join his fight like he did mine. Could I ask you for a favor? There is a room in your parents' house with many pictures of Bryan on one wall. There is photo of him in the surf at Padre Island, grinning, with a beer in his hand. Could you ask them to send me a copy? 3567 Ethan Allen Ave, San Diego, CA 92117. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
