I heard about this from one of my facebook groups today - Ron Patterson, the founder of the Pleasure Faire and Dickens Faire died on Friday. http://sanrafael.patch.com/articles/creator-of-renaissance-faire-dies-at-80

What a totally fantastic way to leave this earthly existence.

May he find peace and happiness in the next life.

Why be mundane when you can be a Rennie?!

As I remember him, he was a nice guy...Glad he had a long and happy life and brought one of our favorite things into being.

Here's to being a wide awake dreamer and may we all continue to inhabit this wonderful world that Ron invisioned...

Death awaits us all but one truly never goes away as long as thier memory survives. Peace and Rest be his but may we never forget to honor his memory.
