My day was not as expected, since I'd hoped/planned to be outside because it was sunny and dry.
However, early in the day I was on a quest to find something. And, as Buck always said, I'm like a dog with a bone when something is lost or missing.
I just knew what I as looking for was in our upstairs office, so that's where I went.
Well, after 6 hours and 3 small crates later, I didn't find what I was looking for, but I had a great glimpse into Buck's life. I knew him most of his adult life, but I learned wonderful things about his childhood and his early school years. I touched his grade school, middle school, high school and college diplomas. I now have his college graduation tassel hanging near me.
He was a professional photographer/filmmaker, so there are boxes full of negatives and reels of photographic footage. It will take me forever to go through it all.
It was an exhausting day and I never found what I initially began looking for. However, I did get great insight into what made "Buck," become "Buck."
After what I saw today, it just proved he was "one in a million!"
