“Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.” Richard Bach, from Illusions, the Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah.

“You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however.” Richard Bach, from Illusions, the Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah.

“Try? There is no try. There is only do or do not do.” Yoda, The Empire Strikes Back

“Dwell as near as possible to the channel in which your life flows.” Henry David Thoreau

In Memory of

Bruce Fredrick Allcorn

December 23, 1945 ~ October 18, 2020

 Although your smile
 Is sorely missed
 Fond memories linger on.
 And when I think of
 The times that we had
 Only pleasant thoughts
 Are known.
  
 The sound of your laughter
 Still rings in my ears,
 It's so sad in many a way.
 But I know in the future
 We'll meet again,
 So, I look forward
 To that day.
  
 Our world’s not
 The same
 Without you my friend...
 Our world’s
 Just not the same.
  
 “Dickie” T 

Today, in your memory, we drink 1820 Coffee, and tonight, I will smoke one of your pipes with your favorite tobacco. As it says on the 1820 bag, “Always with you.”

Rest In Peace.

Memories, so many memories! Found this while decluttering and organizing the writing room. Ralph Emery’s May 28, 1993 “Nashville Now” show focusing on the great State of North Carolina! Honored to join George Hamilton IV, Doc Watson, and Charlie Daniels to talk about our home state! My apologies to the bearded fellow standing between George and Ralph, but I cannot remember his name! #memories #nashvillenow #ralphemery #georgehamiltoniv #docwatson #charliedaniels #me #northcarolina #tarheel #northcarolinaismyhome #nctravelandtourism #oldtimesnotforgotten
