James Walter Bichsel jr

[Joe Power-Drutis]

A note from Theresa: cub reporter, filling in for Joe

Bix just learned that his nephew, Jimmy, died a few days ago. Many of
us have fond memories of Jimmy's laughter as he helped construct
Guadalupe House and joined us in other community events. He will be
missed. Our hearts go out to the Bichsel family for their loss as well
as the absence of Bix in their midst. A request was made that Bix be
released on Saturday for the funeral; but, this seems unlikely to be
granted.

Ensuring that the BOP collects every ounce of their pound of flesh may
trump any amount of comfort Bix could offer or receive from his
family.

Peace to the Bichsels, the BOP, and that pound of flesh nonetheless
