Mitchell Fritz Memories, too numerous to count. I met DSC “The Donald” (not to be confused with another who would steal the trade name in later years), in 1992 or there abouts. Shortly thereafter, I was introduced to the “Fair Miss Chris” (FMC). And, the next thirty years would be peppered, hither and yon, with his unending wit and wisdom. I have ready access to only two photos of DSC. I post one here in memory of a brief afternoon visit that he and FMC made to our place in southwest Virginia in 2016. He was a giant influence in my life. I’m a better person for having known him. Storyteller, cartoonist, designer, Architect, comedian, motorcyclist, woodworker, historian, mariner, guitarist, father, son, grandfather, husband, chef, writer, traveler, friend. All these and more, the list goes on as long as we are willing to add to it. Fair winds and following seas my dear friend.

Anne Murray-Randolph We met through another couple and quickly became fast friends. When they moved from ROck Hill to Bolivia, NC, I helped them sell their house, and then Chris (my husband) and I made the trek out to that wonderful spot many times to be with them. He was such a warrior, had a great laugh, made funny little chirping noises when he was concentrating, and we always enjoyed a little too much good food and wine when we were with he and Chris. I will miss him terribly, as will my husband Chris. I'll miss his wonderful hugs and great smile when we were together.
