Sometime in the Autumn of 2014 I loaned a camera to Fred Bodin. He asked lots of questions and enjoyed fiddling with the camera. Months went by and Fred was in and out of treatment. A few times I asked him if he had taken any photos with the camera and each time he said he hadn’t.
Yesterday, Barbara and I visited with Janet. She found the camera (with a note that simply said “Marty”) and returned it to me. When I got home I imported the file that was on the memory card. Fred had taken a photo on January 19, 2015.
Here it is.
Right back at ya, dear friend.


Wow that is so touching. Just perfect. So Fred.

Great comments from all the above – and thank you for this very personal message Marty and everyone that has shared this! These honors shows the strength of a bank t or break wall no matter how hard or long the storm it remains strong in spirit and never – washed away! Paul, your son stood for what right about how we are brought up when a person needed his help he was there for them to save others from violence! I know the pain you talk of very well the pain of a Father & Mother’s loss words cannot describe!
Is that some special blend tea? Dave & Kim
For your spirit!!!
Kim he’s on the wings of butterfly now watching over you all!
