Lake Country

Mom loved the lake country of Northern Minnesota. She grew up there, she swam in the lakes as a child, and when life took her away from that region, she continued to return in her adult life. She loved to visit her brother Duane, and the lake he lived on until his death. She loved spending time on lakes, and her screensaver was filled with pictures of them to remind her. Here she is pictured with her brother Arlan, on his boat. She loved the water. She loved boats. And I have no doubt she is spending time on the water right now.

Mom’s obituary will be running in the Fergus Falls Daily Journal on Wednesday. A death notice will run in the Rochester Post Bulletin on Saturday. Both papers are down to two publications per week now, which limits the exact availability of print times. Her full obituary is also available at epilogg, where you can find directions to the service on Saturday.

Louis Mattioli is a good man. He hasn’t always been, and he has paid the price for that, but he has chosen to be good in the life he has now. I will aid him on his current path. I owe him that. I also owe him the real story of the man we called Snake. I will write it, and he will be the first to see it. And if he wants, it will then be released to the public so everybody knows who that man really was. What Louis walked away from when he chose to be the lawyer he is now. But it will be his choice. I owe him that too. So if it never gets out there, trust me when I say that most of the stories are very wrong about him. He was better than they say. And sometimes worse. He was an amazing friend and a terrifying enemy, and none of the stories fully grasp the whole picture. He was a Cowboy, through good and bad, in life and in death. He succeeded and he failed. He was the best and the worst of us. He was, in the end, human.

Louis Mattioli is probably the most famous lawyer on Earth and Alpha Centauri. And he has earned a good reputation from atop his waterfront tower. He even has a well-known series of network commercials where he does nothing but tell people about common safety issues, usually oriented around personal or public transportation, and how to be careful and avoid personal injuries. They are always filmed from his desk, with the Landing City bay glittering behind him, all the way out to the horizon. His simple, gentle voice, and his common sense warnings and suggestions make people want to come to his firm for more advice or help. His firm has corporate contracts with some of the richest companies in known space, and yet he assigns fully half of his employees to helping people who come in off the street looking for help. That has only increased his popularity in the minds of the common citizens.
