On
August 31st
Dirck Harris, a
customer and good friend of ours passed away. He
was an avid cyclist, a member and president of the W&OD Trail
Patrol. A frequent visitor at the shop, we always enjoyed his sense
of humor and genuine kindness. A talented photographer with a true
love of the natural world, he often answered our “what the heck is
that?” questions about flora and fauna. Dirck will be sorely
missed by all of us here at the shop. A good man, gone far too soon.
His passing was due to mesothelioma, the result of serving in boiler
rooms in the Navy many years ago. Donations may be made in his name
at the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation, and we welcome all
of you to contribute. To that end, on Saturday, September 23rd,
10% of all proceeds at the shop will be donated to this fund. To
donate directly, go to: http://www.curemeso.org/tributewall
