        P.O. Box 242 Hines, OR 97738 – (530) 927-8164 – email: indianheadbirddogs@gmail.com

 

My sincere condolences and “LOVE” to friends and family attending.

 

I started corresponding with Mr. Bill just after the release of the first printing of “The Unforgettables….,” in 2010. Mr. Bill’s email address was given to me by Dr. C.A. Hjerpe, a west coast veterinarian and field trialer who had been corresponding with Bill for decades. From our first email to the last, Mr. Bill would sign off with “LOVE,” so that’s how I greet you; with LOVE, and feelings of sympathy…

 

Initially, my correspondence with Mr. Bill was focused on field trial bird dogs, bird dog handlers, and patrons of the sport. I was just getting into field trialing, had many questions, and loved the history. Over time, I shared my field trial reports with him and gave Mr. Bill accounts of my training and trialing experiences. He had been out of the sport for many years at that time, but loved to hear my updates on how things were going with my dogs and horses. If he knew that I was going to attend a trial, he eagerly awaited a report from me sometime early the following week. Within the last year, as his sight had really begun to fade, and reading had become a real strain on his vision, Mr. Bill told me to keep writing, and sending pictures, even with his eyes diminished capacity…

 

Over time our correspondence included not only bird dogs but family, our favorite authors and books (Hemingway), the bible and religion (he claimed to be an eclectic Christian), what would pass as philosophy (Carlos Castenada), among other things. I was astounded at his breadth of knowledge, the extent of his reading, and ability to recall. I respected him for his wisdom, experience, and judgement, and went to him often for advice. He was truly a “SAGE.”

 

At some point, I expressed to Mr. Bill that I wished I had had the foresight to dig into my family history, before my great-grandparents, grandparents, and mother had passed; and how I missed them and, wanted to know more about them and the past. I think he felt my remorse, and some time after that, he asked me to begin calling him “Papa.” I initiated the next email to him with, “Hello Papa Bill….,” and in his next message to me, I was firmly told, “…just Papa…,” I could feel his firm insistence through the black and white; I didn’t think twice about what seemed to be a demand more than an option...

 

A few years back I obtained a nice female pup and asked Papa for some help in naming the diminutive, little spitfire; he suggested “Intrigue,” and that’s the name I went with. He loved the pictures I sent of her, and the reports I’d send on how her training and field trialing were coming along. Late last Fall, in an email, he expressed to me that he had had a very vivid dream which included Intrigue and Mrs. Livingston. He told me he had not had a dream this vivid about bird dogs in many years, but in the dream, Mrs. Livingston had shot a cock quail out of a covey which Intrigue had pointed. I remember thinking and feeling that Mrs. Livingston had come to him and was paving the way to his eternal reward; it wasn’t too long after that that our correspondence started to wane, and eventually faded away…

 

I miss him dearly, as you do, miss corresponding with him, and feel so lucky to have shared a good portion my life with him. What a gem he was.

 

God bless you Papa, and your dear wife Betts. My sincere condolences to family and all attending. Wishing you all well.        All my best. LOVE to all, Jared

to me
Bill, was first my downstairs neighbor when he and Betts moved to Henderson Place. Our friendship grew almost immediately and we became soulmates for more than twenty years. 
We shared our joys and sorrows, our triumphs and our failures. I believe our fellowship was strengthened by our heartfelt ability to listen to one another and I sure learned that quickly. He never ceased to amaze me with his love for the written word and his encyclopedic memory. 
We were never ashamed to express our love for one another, ( like David and Johnathan) and our faith in God was definitely the bonding agent. 
I miss him dearly. 

I thank Michael and Keith for accepting me as family and friend.

I MET THE ALLEN FAMILY 64 yrs ago WHEN


THEY MOVED TO THE MOUNTAINS OF HIAWASSEE, GA..


 THEY INSTANTLY BECAME ONE OF OUR BEST FRIENDS.



BETT WAS ALWAYS  LOVING AND SO  TALENTED. 


SHE TAUGHT ME HOW TO SEW,  DECORATE AND ESPECIALLY


 HOW A YOUNG GIRL SHOULD PRESENT HERSELF.


 HER BEAUTIFUL BLUE EYES WERE MESMERIZING. 


SHE WAS A GRACEFUL PERFECT LADY 


ALWAYS MAKING EVERYONE FEEL SPECIAL AND  LOVED.


BILL WAS THE FATHER I NEVER HAD. 


THE GREATEST GIFT HE GAVE ME WAS CALLING ME : DAUGHTER” 


 AND SISTER TO HIS SONS.


 HE WAS FULL OF INTERESTING STORIES AND LIVED  


AN EXCITING LIFE TRAVELING THE WORLD, WRITING,


TEACHING, AND COUNSELING, 


BILL WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE AND NEVER STOPPED LEARNING AND


SHARING HIS KNOWLEDGE WITH OTHERS. 


THE MOST INTELLIGENT PERSON I  EVER KNEW.



BILL'S LOVE AND DEVOTION TO BETT SOWED A PATH FOR

THE MARRIAGE AND FAMILY I NOW HAVE.


IT WAS A BLESSING EACH  MORNING TO WAKE UP TO FIND AN

EMAIL FROM BILL THAT HE DICTATED AND SENT OVERNIGHT THAT  MADE FOR  A LOVELY START TO MY DAY.


GROWING UP WITH THE ALLEN FAMILY GAVE MY CHILDHOOD 

THE LOVE AND GUIDANCE MOST CHILDREN WOULD NEVER HAVE..


T WAS A PRIVILEGE TO BE CALLED SISTER TO MIKE, KEITH

AND VIC. THEIR BROTHERHOOD IS STILL A HEARTFELT LOVE

THAT WILL NEVER END…

BETT AND BILL WILL BE IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER.

POEM Read by Keith Allen

by Merrit Malloy

When I die
Give what’s left of me away
To children
And old men that wait to die.
And if you need to cry,
Cry for your brother
Walking the street beside you.
And when you need me,
Put your arms
Around anyone
And give them
What you need to give to me.

I want to leave you something,
Something better
Than words
Or sounds.

Look for me
In the people I’ve known
Or loved,
And if you cannot give me away,
At least let me live on in your eyes
And not on your mind.

You can love me most
By letting
Hands touch hands,
By letting
Bodies touch bodies,
And by letting go
Of children
That need to be free.

Love doesn’t die,
People do.
So, when all that’s left of me
Is love,
Give me away.

ROADS GO EVER ON  Read by Rebecca Allen


“ROADS GO EVER ON” BY J. R. R. TOLKIEN

The following passage is taken from “The Lord of the Rings”. It makes an ideal reading for a funeral, because Bilbo gracefully acknowledges that his journey is complete and gives others a blessing for "a journey new.

Roads go ever ever on,
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains in the moon.
Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star,
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known.
Roads go ever on and on
Out from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
Let others follow it who can!
Let them a journey new begin,
But I at last with weary feet
Will turn towards the lighted inn,
My evening-rest and sleep to meet.

Facebook Post - by David Rowe on 2016 Election Year

If you really want to know why DJT is being attacked at every level, it's all right here and it makes perfect sense. If you have the cognitive abilities required to actually wrap your mind around the truth and ignore the hype.

"They will kill him before they let him be president. It could be a Republican or a Democrat that instigates the shutting up of Trump.

Don’t be surprised if Trump has an accident. Some people are getting very nervous: Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Jon Corzine, to name just a few.

It's about the unholy dynamics between big government, big business, and big media. They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this partnership, and it's in all of their interests to protect one another. It's one for all and all for one. It’s a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich, everyone except the American people. We get ripped off. We’re the patsies. But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared. The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media, and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened.

Donald Trump can self-fund. No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business, and political elite understand that Trump is no joke. He could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart.

It's no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy The Donald. It's because most of the other politicians are part of the a good old boys club. They talk big, but they won’t change a thing. They are all beholden to big-money donors. They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations, and multinational corporations – like Big Pharmacy or Big Oil. Or they are owned lock, stock, and barrel by foreigners like George Soros owns Obama or foreign governments own Hillary and their Clinton Foundation donations.

These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big money. But there's one man who isn't beholden to anyone. There's one man who doesn't need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the United Auto Workers, or the teacher's union, or the Service Employees International Union, or the Bar Association to fund his campaign.

Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn’t need anyone’s help. That means he doesn’t care what the media says. He doesn’t care what the corporate elites think. That makes him very dangerous to the entrenched interests. That makes Trump a huge threat to those people. Trump can ruin everything for the bribed politicians and their spoiled slave masters.

Don’t you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama? Don’t you wonder why John Boehner and Mitch McConnell talk a big game, but never actually try to stop Obama? Don’t you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet has never tried to de-fund Obamacare or Obama’s clearly illegal executive action on amnesty for illegal aliens? Bizarre, right? It defies logic, right?

First, I'd guess many key Republicans are being bribed. Secondly, I believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed. Whether they are having affairs, or secretly gay, or stealing taxpayer money, the National Security Agency knows everything.

Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that. The government even knew he was withdrawing large sums of his own money from his own bank account. The NSA, the SEC, the IRS, and all the other three-letter government agencies are watching every Republican political leader. They surveil everything. Thirdly, many Republicans are petrified of being called racists, so they are scared to ever criticize Obama or call out his crimes, let alone demand his impeachment. Fourth , why rock the boat? After defeat or retirement, if you’re a good old boy, you’ve got a $5 million-per-year lobbying job waiting. The big-money interests have the system gamed. Win or lose, they win.

But Trump doesn’t play by any of these rules. Trump breaks up this nice, cozy relationship between big government, big media, and big business. All the rules are out the window if Trump wins the Presidency. The other politicians will protect Obama and his aides but not Trump. Remember: Trump is the guy who publicly questioned Obama's birth certificate. He questioned Obama's college records and how a mediocre student got into an Ivy League university. Now, he's doing something no Republican has the chutzpah to do. He's questioning our relationship with Mexico; he's questioning why the border is wide open; he's questioning why no wall has been built across the border; he's questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in our best interests; he's questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes, yet are not deported; and he's questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are so bad.

Trump has the audacity to ask out loud why American workers always get the short end of the stick. Good question! I'm certain Trump will question what happened to the almost billion dollars given in a rigged no-bid contract to college friends of Michelle Obama at foreign companies to build the defective Obamacare website. By the way, that tab is now up to $5 billion. Trump will ask if Obamacare's architects can be charged with fraud for selling it by lying. Trump will investigate Obama's widespread IRS conspiracy, not to mention Obama's college records. Trump will prosecute Clinton and Obama for fraud committed to cover up Benghazi before the election. How about the fraud committed by employees of the Labor Department when they made up dramatic job numbers in the last jobs report before the 2012 election?

Obama, the multinational corporations and the media need to stop Trump. They recognize this could get out of control. If left unchecked, telling the raw truth and asking questions everyone else is afraid to ask, Trump could wake a sleeping giant. Trump's election would be a nightmare. Obama has committed many crimes. No one else but Trump would dare to prosecute. He will not hesitate. Once Trump gets in and gets a look at the cooked books and Obama's records, the game is over. The goose is cooked. Holder could wind up in prison. Jarrett could wind up in prison. Obama bundler Corzine could wind up in prison for losing $1.5 billion of customer money. Clinton could wind up in jail for deleting 32,000 emails or for accepting bribes from foreign governments while Secretary of State, or for misplacing $6 billion as the head of the State Department, or for lying about Benghazi. The entire upper level management of the IRS could wind up in prison.

Obamacare will be de-funded and dismantled. Obama himself could wind up ruined, his legacy in tatters. Trump will investigate. Trump will prosecute. Trump will go after everyone involved. That’s why the dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump.

Yes, it's become open season on Donald Trump. The left and the right are determined to attack his policies, harm his businesses, and, if possible, even keep him out of the coming debates. But they can't silence him. And they sure can't intimidate him. The more they try, the more the public will realize that he's the one telling the truth".

B. ALLEN Post 3/15/2016 Cato's Depot

Probably the main things we should have firm in mind are:

(1) That the Benghazi massacre took place  on the anniversary of the World Trade Center catastrophic attack, that is, on September 11, 2012.... AND...

(2) That this date was less than two months before the election day that returned Barack Hussein Obama to the White House.

Benghazi was a fatal Statecraft failure and reporting it honestly and factually could have prompted harsh judgment from the U.S. electorate.

At 4:00 PM Washington time (11 p.m. in Benghazi) Obama and VP Joe Biden along with Defense secretary Leon Panetta experienced the Benghazi attack on DoD hook-up, from Drones hovering over the embattled compound in “real-time”. They were in touch with Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton.

Yet, despite the fact that Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods died in the burning destruction of the temporary “consulate”, Ms Clinton announced proudly this past weekend:

“We did not lose one person in Libya !”

My question is: What do these Hoity-Toity elite charlatans think we are?  Do they lump us in the garbage bin with the 20% sure-fire-voting illiterate great unwashed ? Are we considered  just  low info turnipbrained dullards?

Even after this tragedy, for nearly a week, all these people named above plus an automaton dummy named Susan Rice, claimed this murderous, brutally bloody attack was “just revenge” for a cartoon that allegedly left a stain on the prophet Mohammed.  Rice took a special occasion at the United Nations General Assembly to give vent to this apostatic lie.

And now in the heat of another presidential election, the former Secretary of State would apparently have us believe she has forgotten the four slain Americans.

Since we KNOW that all Defense department tape and film is eternally redundant, there is evidence aplenty in the recordings from the drones, which had to be onsite before the attack, because they were supplied to the “consulate” from Crete, about three hours distant.

As candidate the former Secretary of State has been visibly shaken physically by a series of coughing paroxysms that she cannot shake.

One wonders, if in  her bronchial expectorations, she has spit out a bit of brain matter here and there . That is certainly the kindest face to put on this performance.

As a matter of fact I wonder if even Leon Panetta knows how many Americans died in the Libya fiasco.

Congressman Trey Gowdy’s committee is in “ongoing investigation” mode.  Wonder if he has his eye on accessing those Drone tapes.

It's always “Tapes” and “gaps”, isn't it ?  There was a poem about "the little man who wasn't THERE":

"I saw him standing on the stair
The Little man who wasn;t there.
 He was't thhere again todayu...
I wish that he would go away...."

Does she ever see Chris Stevens ?...The other men ?

Thanks for this.
I am speechless over the result of this lack of responsibility and manipulation of the media and the corrupt judicial system that's determined to give a pass to this corrupt Bitch promoting her campaign so she would find herself in the Perfect position  to say  "PARDON ME" or better yet pardon herself.
