Not my best one. There are too many. I begged him to take me on the snow machine when I was in the 6th grade. We were going to check trap lines for fox . 20 miles up the Tanana river Fairbanks AK. Minus 30 that day. Cold was understatement . I was the passenger. He kept saying it will be worth it. We did trap a foxthat day. I wanted to drive home
( heater). His reply was nope you begged to come. Since we did get a fox the ride home wasn't as bad. Loved his encouragements over many years. So glad he is my big brother so proud of the way he treated everyone he met. I look forward to the day I get to see him again. He is in my future! I love you .

Too many to count..But one was when he took a borrowed Oldsmobile 442 and taught Marlin to drive a manual transmission..which we ended up getting stuck in the sand by the Colorado river..he was always finding ways around problems and that day was no different. We all dug a bit and pushed and laughed our way out if that situation.
