Subject: Re: Up's and downs of life - actually, LAB Author: Carl Speicher [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 23:41:31 12/28/03 Sun In reply to: Bruce Wilson 's message, "Up's and downs of life - actually, LAB" on 20:53:21 03/28/03 Fri 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. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Up's and downs of life - actually, LAB Author: Carl Speicher [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 04:32:55 12/30/03 Tue You know Bruce, you may never read this, but after much thought about your brother over the last 24-hours I have it. Bryan saved my miserable-ass when I least deserved it, but most needed it. Things are fine now in my life, but I was reminded in a movie I saw called "A River Runs Through It" when the doomed Pitt character said during a controversy, "Maybe he just likes the fact that you are trying to help him". I was sinking and your brother pulled up the rope and let me continue. I am eternally greatful. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
