Rembering Bill Walsh

As a teenager, I worked at a country club just south of San Francisco. I drove the cart that picks up golf balls on the driving range. I cleaned the members' golf clubs. I caddied for the members and their guests. The club was for the bay area's elite. It was for the CEOs, the Chairman of the Board and for the most famous of famous athletes. Willie Mays was a member.

I reported on more aspects of the Mt. Hood crash today (7/08/07).

It got tougher today because I met, at least over the phone, the father of Tyler Williams.

He sounds like a proud, loving father who misses his son with every ounce of his soul.

It started out as such a beautiful day----sunny---not too hot---a wonderful time to be alive and out and about in Oregon.

I can only imagine what it was like for Janene Brundege as she drove her brown van towards Welches at the foot of Mt. Hood, but I'll bet she looked forward to the day.
