Dear Christie, Adam and Joey-
My most wonderful memories of your extraordinary dad are when we were out in nature, either on a camping trip or diving. I was so glad he got just as excited as me by watching things like a bobact stalk mice.
We were at Steep Ravine cabins for his birthday. He'd never seen a bobcat, and I had there before. I saw one again, called him (Chris) quietly, and together we stalked the bobcat as s/he stalked mice. We spent about an hour doing that, and it was great.
He got psyched by finding a bunch of black and yellow rockfish in a crevice while diving.
And he was SO sweet to my little tabby Penny!
