This was also posted in my personal blog on Renspace... but I thought others in the group would want to know, and it seemed fitting to post it here.  If anyone has a photo of Bill and Coke from the York Faire, maybe they could post it?

I just saw in our local paper today, the notice for the passing of Bill Bolton.

Nebraska Rennies will remember him perhaps from the tiny, but enthusiastically organized York Ren Faire last fall.  I know that he worked in Iowa for years before that.

He was a delightful, kind and funny individual, a straight shooter.  I had only met him last autumn, but I will miss the big laugh and easy manner of this gentleman. I am saddened that I did not get to know him better. 

Prayers to his wife Coke, and family.

Here's a toast to you, Bill.  I wish you peace.

I'm assuming most of us got an email from Greg with info and dates.  Mother's Day weekend, in Bellevue it seems.  We can at least see what the month of May looks like now.  :)  It sounds like a whole lotta faire in a one hour radius for the month of May.  Thots?
