blackhawkpat Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Kazumi was one of the people I was thinking of when I wrote that. I remember meeting her in Chicago at the Raspberries show and having a great conversation with her when a number of us went out to eat (at that horrible pizza place!...BTW, I want a do-over on that day so all of you can taste real Chicago pizza, so the band is going to have to get back together and do another show here in Chicago to go along with it. Okay, boys?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspberrybelle Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'm probably the oldest person on this site, though I am pretty healthy, but I asked my son a few months ago that if I should "bite the big one", "kick the bucket", "croak" or whatever to be sure and tell you folks how much you have meant to me. I want you to know that you are a very special group. And not to forget to mention how much I love the music created by the Raspberries and EC.So in about twenty years you may hear from my offspring of my untimely departure so be prepared.Belle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Belle, I would bet I'm older than you are. I'm 63 and will be 64 in August. You surprise me, because by your posts, I just assumed your age was about 30. You must be very very young at heart, and that keeps you young!You're a vibrant lady and I don't think we'll be hearing about your departure for a long long long time to come. --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popdude Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 My condolences to the family and friends of both Gail and Don Krider. I corresponded with Don quite a bit back in the day, and always found him to be a class individual - supportive, considerate and kind.May both of them rest in peace.

Raspberrybelle Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 DarleneThank you for the lovely compliment and if you want to claim to be older than I am I'll accept that, however---Some may say I'm vibrant-others may say I'm just starting to go in reverse. Inside I'm still young at heart. Passions haven't waned, I'm still thrilled and refreshed at the arrival of every spring.

bahoodore Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 as i am not too savvy about everybody here on the board, Gail and Don were not folks I interacted with knowingly... however it is indeed sad to hear that board members have passed on...and I see that Marvin is back on here...I am without speech...starting with a new slate huh?bahoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 And it shines through in every post. --Dar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I'm so sorry to hear about Don and Gail. I haven't been here in a while and Elle told me about them. I didn't really know Gail but I had talked to Don a few times...he was a class act. Since we only lived about 50 miles apart, I always thought we'd get together someday...I guess you really shouldn't put things off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
