Elliott Brack

I went to Elliot Brack's funeral yesterday. He was a friend. And he was quite a character. He was one of the first people I met outside of work when I moved to Georgia. He was sort of a variation of the main character of Tom Wolfe's "A Man In Full". I used to say that Elliott and I had a 50-50 relationship. He told me what to do and I did it. His 50% was telling me. My 50% was doing it. He was a fixture at my church and involved me in all sorts of things. Including organization of our "Civic Breakfast" where we invited leaders from the community for information and opinions of the community. It goes on and on. There were 260 people attending his funeral. He will be missed. https://www.crowellbrothers.com/obituaries/Elliott-Earl-Brack?obId=48440319

Llamapaedia: Wool: Shearing Llama haircut day! All the llamas behaved reasonably well. The llamas have come a long way from the wild way they were when we got them. The shearer-guy said they were well behaved and complemented on how well they were halter trained. Click pic for video
Berkshire I went to my first Berkshire Town Planning Board Meeting last night. There are four of us on the board and our role is to help the town board with recommended legislation and other efforts to improve the town. We don't meet that often (once a month), but we agreed that we will communicate via e-mail over the summer.
