[brucemem] Memorial Program

[Cheyenne Young]

Laurie, Brucemems,

I love the 'Closed' idea. He would too.

I think arty, fun, and funky are all very appropriate directions. I
haven't seen the Closed collection recently so I can't think of a
particular one.

Bruce got to a lot of places after they were closed. Didn't matter. Their loss.


Anything important to you here Jenny?

> And, what would you like the content to be? (If this is all too much, I can

> Other possible content:
> Photo(s), collage
> Bruceisms (sayings)
> Message or tribute from family or friends
> Song lyrics
> Claims to fame (obituary. I really don't like that word. Can we use
> something else?)
> Flying Toasters (I'm pushing for this one)
> Other works of Bruces' art
