Randy's message to Slick about Chris and Val Newman (boating death)
Well, high Slick, I haven't talked to you for a while. I wish I was just
calling
to check in with you and to say hello and that kind of thing but, uh, I
am
calling to pass on some bad news. Maybe I'll feel better just passing it
along
but I'm kind of bothered by it. I don't know if you remember Chris and
Val Newman but they're friends of Wayne and Carlene and Robin and I had
shown them the plan Chris a few times since the plan showing. He had wanted
to try and synchronize going to one of your meetings and another function
you had scheduled but hadn't been able to and I was looking forward to
getting him and Val into the business and there was a good possibility
of that happening. But they found his boat capsized on a lake a couple
days ago and he and a friend were at the bottom of the lake and the authorities
are saying nothing officially as to what happened but word is that Chris
and his friend had consumed alcohol before and during their stint in the
boat. But Chris has departed us now and Val is without a husband and her
very young child is without a father and Val has no money so we're gonna
see what we uh, we're definitely going to go to the Nuts and Bolts meeting
on Saturday, the attitude meeting. Hopefully we'll be seeing you before
that. I'll talk to you soon, OKAY? Bye. Bye.
