Dear Jim, 65GSConv, Kevin, Jim, Chuck, Dan, Dan, and 65GS.com extended family,
As promised, here is the digital version of the Biquette Christmas card. Some explanation is needed. Two members of the family are in very frail health. If COVID-19 every reached us, I don't know if any of us would have survived. So we have had little choice to remain in perpetual lock-down since March. Mix in the California drought, wild fires, and Public Safety Power Shutoffs, and it has been a horrific year.
Somehow, all this needed to get reflected in Biquette's Christmas card for this year. This is what I finally came up with:
Many thanks to
yachtsmanbill for allowing me to use his photo of the wrecked 1964 Sportswagon in my card.
Merry Christmas to all and your families. Be sure to help those who are fighting with the depression and hardship created this year. . . . . .
Having been there and still being there to some extent -
no, things like depression or COVID aren't enemies that can be beaten. If Christmas has any message to tell us, is one of peace or victory? Especially this year, our obsession for competition has left a lot of hard feelings instead a consensus to face the difficult challenges ahead. If there was ever a time when we should realize we cannot solve our problems by ourselves - this is it. My hope this Christmas is that there will be answer beyond even our most wildest dreams - may you all find hope in that as well.
Edouard
