remain in Reno for years to come, despite the recent uproar over moving the event to Long Beach, California. The uproar over the rumors of a move exclusively to California proved how much the residents here and participants all over the country care about it.
It's not just about the hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for the city but the fact this event originated here.
While I have been getting things ready for stoage, I have been trying to take in some of the events this week. I plan to return to southern Oregon early Saturday for the 1970s reunion of my old high school because I don't think I will have everything moved out of the apartment today.
It's been hard leaving a place where I have lived 26 years and the apartment I have had a dozen years. I couldn't stay at the apartment anymore not just because of the finances but because my neighbors, two of the finest people I have ever known, are no longer there. The mother, about 90, is in a nursing home dying, and her daughter passed away from cancer two months ago.
It was just too much to take to have to look at the house from my window every single day and know these great people would never be there again.
