    Biker Billy Memorial Article...

    http://denver.yourhub.com/Story.aspx?contentid=44553

    I found this on another forum, but know that many people here either knew, Jim Price thru the many forums where he posted, or knew him personally... I thought this was a really well written story and is worth sharing here too...
    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

    Thanks for posting this article. It really makes you think about the fact that each day is a gift and one that we should cherish.

    I remember when that happened- for some reason it was on the Ultrarunning list immediately. Very sad. I like the memorial.

    A few times, cave diving, I have come upon a memorial. Sometimes it's a permanent marker placed in a diver's favorite cave, and sometimes it's like one of those roadside memorials, in a place that a death has recently occured, with items strung on the cave line like teddy bears, whatever. It always makes you think...
