Cousin Reid was truly his own man. Though I've known Reid and Judy for 60 years + I've really come to LOVE them more deeply these last 20 years. He and Judy have had a rare, adventurous (sometimes tumultuous) love and life together with their wonderful daughters.
Reid was always straight-forward in his relationship with others and when he spoke to you. My mom lovingly referred to him as a "wild March hare" but always anticipated and so enjoyed visits with him. He left us in wonder many times with his adventures.
One quick story. When I was a teenager, I babysat the girls many times for Reid and Judy. Judy sang on the local radio station in those days. Though their love for one another never was in doubt, they surely had their share of "disputes?" One time I asked Reid about it and he looked down with that grin of his and said, " I don't like the fightin much, but boy the makin up is sure great!"
The times I visited him at the lodge only increased my love and admiration for Reid and for Judy. Farewell cousin and happy hunting with our Lord and Savior. Gloria
