My Pal, Chester, is gone.

We enjoyed eight fun-filled years with this little guy!
(He 'adopted us' in the Pina Blanca National Forest in Southern Arizona in 1999.)
He never met a stranger & he followed me around like a puppy dog.
A perennial visitor to all of our campfires & he just had to say "hi!" to all his old friends.

Chester was run over by a car as he tried to cross the street in Stockton, CA.

He gave us laughs throughout each & every day that he was with us.

I hope that Rita Olesen was right when she said, "He is up in heaven now, playing with Bob Houston."
They always had a great time with each other.

I'll miss him for years to come.
Below are some of the memories we have of him and will now share with you.
