When my husband Ralph (res2100) told me the news, we cried and held each other. It was such a tragic loss. We had just seen Tony and Sue (Sue acknowledged me with her usual smile as they were leaving Harvestfest). Tony had spoken to us briefly as he did at all events. We had the good fortune to geocache with him (and his son) both planned and by chance and he was always so kind, funny and patient with us slowpokes! There are so many memories that stand out but one in particular always brings a smile to Ralph and I: We were at the Canadian Ecology Centre for Cacheback last fall. Ralph asked Tony if he was really the Klingon Raiding Party that had hidden the Bouncy Bunny has been Kidnapped cache (GCQFYT). Tony said, "why does everyone ask me that?" but didn't deny it. Later at the campfire he confessed that he hadn't been able to solve the West coordinate. His son Allan overhead this and asked, "oh Dad, you mean someone else hid a Klingon cache just like yours?" Tony glared at him while Ralph laughed hysterically. "Oops" was Allan's reply. Tony's daughter rolled her eyes and said, "you did a Klingon cache....gawd." I will always remember Tony's humour, intelligence and kindness. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Lisa "Ellesche"

My first ever forum post! It was tough to come up with my top 5 favourite caches, even though I have not done that many. In random order: Two Bridges and a Tree (GCK5M2) -Found on my first geocaching outing and I figured out the code Unionville Factfinder (GCKMWZ) -pretty little town Starry, Starry Night (GC68FE) -couch potato cache but a challenge Dex's Get a clue cache (GCJ8ZT) -I like this area and I used to play Clue quite often, only I had a friend who would guess the answer in her first try and that would be it Geocaring race/Meet & Greet (GCMQ37) -enjoyed this event for the different tasks My goal is to finish After the Gold Rush as I only completed the first 3 stages.
