great time to reduce staff at the NHC and reduce Hunter flights, huh?

My Dad's service was today, and I read a eulogy I prepared. You should all know that I quoted from one of your comments and talked about how important this place was to him. Thank you all.

if any mods can help me dig those up or provide me with them,I know he put stuff up about my races. For selfish reasons, I'd really like to have those posts. Thanks, everyone.

Thanks all. If anyone knows how I can access the old Politics Thread, I'd be much obliged. The current one has no posts at all.

Thanks, everyone. There are three options we have chosen for memorials other than flowers. Leukemia and Lymphoma Society - www.lls.org The Hospital at Home Program c/o Atrium Health Foundation 7800 Providence Rd. Suite 208, Charlotte, NC 28226 Or your local NPR station that plays classical or jazz music. As my Dad would probably point out, all three of these things - cancer research, healthcare coverage for average people of limited means, and the arts and public broadcasting are under assault from some of those bullies that Pop so detested. So your support of any of them would be greatly appreciated.

HA! He was born in Hoboken. If he heard you call him a Southern Gentleman he would have been quite amused.

Yes, it freaking does.

Thank you, everyone. Wish I could find his posts about politics. May not have wanted to read the ones about me. LOL

John Burns Hello everyone. I am writing with sad news. My father, John Burns, who you know as your moderator jburns, passed away on Monday at the age of 77 after a battle with cancer that returned after he beat lymphoma in 2020. AmericanWX was really important to him, and I know he considered many of you to be friends. He became highly involved on this site after he suffered a heart attack about 15 years ago, and this became a key outlet for him and his love and impressive amateur knowledge of meteorology. Whenever there was going to be a storm in North Carolina, I had two sources to check: WRAL and my Dad. I remember him texting me before an ice storm was expected to hit Raleigh. No "hello," no "how are you." Just: "get a damn generator." He was absolutely never happier than when a snowstorm actually hit. He was known to drive hundreds of miles just to get into a blizzard. Thank you to all of you who made his later years fun and engaging. He loved it here. He loved arguing, he loved the weather, and he LOVED the ban hammer. John D. Burns Son of jburns Raleigh, NC

Fish has said all along that there will be a steep gradient from one end of Wake County to the other. Folks down in Fuquay are going to get a lot. Falls Lake, maybe not.
