TIM BEINKE: TIM AND I SERVED ON THE DAVIS AT DIFFERENT TIMES. EVEN SO, WE ARE SHIPMATES. HE WAS ALSO A BT TOO. HELEN AND I / TIM AND BOBBIE BECAME CLOSE FRIENDS. I PUT TOGETHER A MINI-REUNION ON CAPE COD IN MAY EVERY YEAR. TIM AND BOBBIE WERE ALWAYS THERE. (OF COURSE WITH HIS SACK OF VIDALIA ONIONS). THE PAST FEW YEARS, THE TURNOUT HAS GOTTEN LOWER. I WAS TALKING TO TIM AND I SAID I WAS THINKING OF NOT DOING THIS ANYMORE. TIM SAID THIS IS GOING TO BE LIKE A TONTINE. WE WILL HAVE THIS MINI-REUNION UNTIL ITS FOR THE LAST PERSON STANDING. THEN WE ALL MADE RESERVATIONS FOR NEXT YEAR. LAST NIGHT, ON MASH, ON TV, WAS EPISODE #187. IT WAS ABOUT A TONTINE. IT WAS ABOUT A BOTTLE OF BRANDY AND THE LAST MAN STANDING, WOULD GET THE BOTTLE. COINCIDENCE OR NOT, BEING THE DAY OF HIS MEMORIAL SERVICE? AS LONG AS I CAN, I WILL HAVE THE MAY MINI-REUNION THE WEEKEND AFTER MOTHERS DAY, NO MATTER WHO COMES. THE NEXT ONE WILL BE IN TIMS MEMORY. IM SURE HE WILL BE HONORED AT THE REUNION IN OCTOBER. HE DID A LOT FOR THE DAVIS ASSOCIATION. IM NOT THAT GREAT WITH A COMPUTER. COULD SOMEONE MAKE SURE BOBBIE AND THEIR FAMILIES SEE THIS. RIP SHIPMATE.
