Thank you for your many cards, letters and emails to our family following my step-dad's death. It has been a hectic past three months since then, with several trips to Florida during that time.With Florida still very much on my mind, this is a nice time to mention a few things "Floridian" on the blog, starting with Thomas-Kevin Bählerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06434453805885619006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29322787.post-1156809077414783042006-08-28T19:08:00.000-04:002006-11-13T21:57:13.442-05:00 Remembering DICK WELCH . . .My marked absence from the blogosphere over these recent weeks has been due to a family crisis. Several weeks ago, just prior to his 87th Birthday, my dear step-father, Dick Welch (pictured at left) fell and broke his hip at our family home in Florida. He underwent emergency surgery to repair the hip, but he never fully regained conciousness nor did his condition Thomas-Kevin Bählerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06434453805885619006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29322787.post-1156806391113749932006-08-28T18:43:00.000-04:002006-11-13T21:57:13.303-05:00 In Memoriam: RICHARD H.

These royal subjects (much like their counterparts in NYC, Philly, Miami, Nashville, Toronto, Chicago and LA) are more often heard than they are seen.

If you have, you no doubt recognize the "needle-drop" soundtrack they are using.
