Last Saturday, David Pass, one of the paramedics at my station was hit and killed while riding a motorcycle home from his shift. The whole of LAFD ended up losing a great guy that day.
Today I went out for a paddle with my girls; Cora's friend, Stephanie; and Molly with a lei in hand to honor Dave.
Saying my goodbyes to Dave...
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dave's kids, his family, his friends, and the many coworkers who came to love him in his 18 years on the job.
Rell, Cora, and Stephanie had a sleep over at Molly & George's house the night before the Kahakai Sprint race... Rell was a little bit sleepy the next morning.
Cora and I after our race. We raced Open with Mindy (stroking !!), Laurie, Stephanie, and Molly. We did well!
Cora (aka Mini-Mindy) cruising to a first place finish in Redondo Beach at Lanakila Outrigger's winter series race. Rell (aka Mini-Julie) getting Molly across the finish line for a 3-way tie with LOCC's Danny & Heather and Josh & Garrett. Look at that kid's reach!! She was totally going for it. The joke on the water was that her stroke was better than any of the adults...And me in my first victory of the season!
