Enjoying this last chilly...for those of us in Mesa, Arizona, but I LOVE it ; )...Sunday before Christmas 2015, opening this lovely box of Audio Books that arrived Friday the 18th! : )
Told BigJohnLefty I'd be "making his list" of contents to provide a little PEACE for him. ; ) Thanks for including me...this is my first ever Audio Adventure! : )
JOY for me to see the "Golden Triplets" on the Journal Cover, as I've long outlived a multitude of joyful pets of all kinds, shapes and sizes, including my beloved 65 pound Black Labrador, Bear...and my oldest Son...among others, already in my lifetime.
GOODWILL to be "checking it twice"...the list of Audio Books making this journey in your Bookbox, BigJohnLefty...before entering it twice, once in the "Golden" Journal, and once in a Journal Entry here for all to see once it is completed. ; )
Stay tuned...Santa Claus is coming to town! HOHOHO! : )

A sad loss to BookCrossing: BigJohnLefty (JudySlump612)

Yes, this truly is a sad loss. I am heartbroken to hear this news, but happy to know it...thank you, JudySlump612. I had been hoping that having not exchanged any correspondence or communication with BigJohn in several months, perhaps he was still fighting his battle with the BEAST, and simply had to back away from BookCrossing again for a time. Last December, he very much wanted to get his "Another AUDIOBOOKBOX" sent out before Christmas, but was just starting to get back into things after his most recent surgery, and he still had a few chemotherapy treatments to go through. We PM'd several times, and at one point he had stated that he already had all the books in a box, and had written the order of participants in the journal (and also on his profile page) and sealed it up. He went on to say that he normally wrote the book titles in the journal and put them on the journal page online, but was really wanting to get it sent off, and also had two packages of Christmas presents that were ready to mail. I told him not to worry, that I would take care of adding all of the titles into the journal and posting them in the thread online for him once I received the Box. I also told him that I was thrilled to have been included, as it was my first ever AudioBookBox, and it was my pleasure to do this for him. My heartfelt Sympathy to John's family, and all of those who were touched by his thoughtful kindness.

It's here! I will make my choices and get it on the road as quickly as I can. The box was completely covered in tape, which was good because it looks like it's weakening. I am going to try to reinforce it if I can't find another strong box.
I removed:
Snow Angels
Guns, Germs, and Steel
Indignation
The Whistler and The Orchard Wall
I added:
When You Ride Alone You Ride With Bin Laden
The Geography of Bliss
Until the Real Thing Comes Along

Oh, no! I'm heartbroken! He was definitely one of my favorites.
There's an online condolence record with his obit, if anyone's interested.

A quiet moment held
above the shadows of memory,
between shafts of light.

I was the last in the line for BigJohnLeft's audio box.
His passing away it a very sad thing. We have heard from the family that they do not want the book boxes back, or the journals that he has sent out for this community. So many people, including myself, I would like to see his books continue as long as possible.
Since I'm unable run a continuous Audio book box, I have another dedicated BC member who wanted to take over it, devon612.
May you Rest In Peace BigJohnLefty. You will be missed.
