Knowing Jason

Created by Anne Hovland 15 years ago
Rich and I had the wonderful experience of almost always being with Jason and Linda on vacation. We met on our Bryce, Zion Grand Canyon bicycle trip in 1999. We enjoyed sailing together in the BVI, biking in Hawaii, hiking in the Cotswolds, golfing in Datow and Arizona. Many friends and strangers gladly gathered around Jason. We were amazed to be embraced so quickly in the friendship of Linda, Jason, Naomi and Gene. I can still picture all of us relaxing on the lodge balcony overlooking the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Jason was truly charismatic, debonair, and down to earth, all at the same time. To say merely that he had a zest for life doesn't do justice to Jason's energy, enthusiasm and eclectic interests. Our lives are immeasurably richer for having known him. We'll miss you Jason! Anne and Rich Hovland
