I remember the Krause's like it was yesterday, and all those fun times at the old 7th and Orange building with our youth group and friends. Remember how we used to walk through the alley to the Annex on Wednesday nights? Wow... Steve and I will pray for his family and friends tonight. Take care, Nate and Kenrick.

I've re-written this comment too many times because it's unearthed so much emotion that I can't quite translate yet, but I'll say that yesterday it made me cry and then drum. I'm really sorry for your loss, and really glad you're documenting your reflections. This story has really affected me.

I'll look over my old big memories box and see if it's there. Even though I never actually met Benson personally, I totally feel devastated about his death.

I found two versions of album artwork for "Satisfied: The Final Reunion" at my parents' house (both missing the tapes inside). And I updated the Javier reference, too. I can't wait to hear those tracks between the two of you. Thanks for that Kenrick.
