I'd like to preface this slide show by first apologizing for taking so long to complete and post it. I built a video that was nearly a carbon copy of the one done by Phil Surratt and Michael ? for Pat's funeral. There was this mental mountain I had to get over before I managed to complete the project and bundle it in a suitable format for the web.

Unfortunately I had to cut the video clips from the original version and use very heavy handed compression techniques to get the file sizes as small as necessary for the web. I offer two different versions. One for those who have access to a broadband net connection please choose this link. CLICK HERE

For those who suffer from very slow dial-up connections as we do in the Cooke City, Silver Gate and Cooke Pass communities. Please use this lihk. CICK HERE

The quality of both versions suffer from my heavy handed techniques. I'm sorry! Knowing all to well how maddening it is to have a dial-up connection that runs (when it is running fast) at 22K I was forced to sacrifice quality for small file size. My other option was to risk being strangled by my friends and neighbors in this part of the world.

Should anyone be interested in the full-size, high-quality original version of this piece, please send me a note by clicking HERE and I will send a version of the original work (including the video clips from the original) when I return to CO for the the winter and have a fast net connection.

And again, my sincere apologies for being so tardy.
