Jim P. Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hi Rob and all, just wanted to touch base and say Hi. I've been watching the forums almost daily, just not in the mood to post. I had been caring for my Dad until his death from lung cancer in July. Since then I've been busy with his estate. I also wanted to toot my own horn a little. In the midst of my personal low, this year, cam a personal high as well. Just in time for my Dad to see it, I was published in the ICMJ. I posted it here along with a few extra pictures for those of you who don't get the magazine. http://hometown.aol.com/japdep/myhomepage/index.htmlIt's freebie AOL POS page so be patient. Scroll down to the green link "Family Prospecting adventures: Pure Gold"I'm hoping to start getting out again soon, this weather is teasing me. See you all out there. Later...Jim P.

DOC Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Sorry Jim,Losing ones father is very tough. My dad passed away in 1990, I think about him every day. He was just a wonderful man and everything a father should be.I would like to say that you will get over your feeling of loss. But you won't. As time passes, the pain becomes a little less sharp and the memories become even more precious.God Bless you and your family. I know your dad is looking down on you and smiling.Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim P. Posted October 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Thanks guys, for your comments. I also wanted to thank Dawnie (of Rob and Dawn) publicly for her help and advice when I needed help taking care of my Dad. She is quite an advocate for the patient and gave me direction when I didn't know where to turn. Thanks Dawny! Later...Jim P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted October 10, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Hey Jim, I know you have been away from the forums for a bit, but just wanted to let you know most of us here haven't forgotten you by any means. Speaking of that, I can still remember the first time you showed up at my Parents house and we went out metal detecting. I can remember the whole time driving we were talking about Geology and other stuff related to finding gold. Hope to see you and your Sons out on the 24K Gold Hunters claims this weekend. Take care Champ, Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim P. Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hi Rob, yah, I remember those days. Great memories for sure. Found a little gold too. You helped me take my hobby to a new level and introduced me to the world of pulse induction. Thanks Bud! Later...Jim P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
