Keith mentioned in another thread that they were planning to go Dove hunting on Sept. 1st this year.

He is still missed by many, including me.

I can't imagine the day when I'll take his quote out of my sig. I miss his wit and his no-nonsense way of looking at things.

I was just thinking about him the other day. He is surely missed around here these days. We could use some of his wit about now.

His wit is missed.

I'd like to take this time to extend my heartfelt best wishes to Kristi and the rest of the Outler family.
