Wake and Memorial Service Info for Jim West

This Friday a wake will be at Eric and Pam’s place. 9752 Stoneglen Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80920. This is open to all who wish to come. We are trying to get some pinball machines there. We will have plenty of games. Kilts are welcome!!! This starts at 5pm. There may or may not be a public star party at fox run park. If there is we (the family) are going to make an appearance to do what Jim loved. His scope will be there, but not in use.
On Saturday at 11 am there will be a Memorial at Starry Meadows. http://rmss.org/directions.htm . This venue is a no power and one porta-potty place and cell service is not great, just a heads up. This is where we will tell our stories and spread the ashes (assuming we have them -we are working hard on this). There is a covered large building in case of weather.  Once again CSAS Members are welcome.
