My husband and I met Marijean and John on a Canadian bike trip in 1980. We became good friends and sailed with them many times over the years.They allowed me to scatter Greg’s ashes from their boat at sea. We have always stayed in touch and have hiked in the Sierra together. I will miss her laugh when we talked.
