Third Letter From England... coming

Family, Friends-
We are quite delinquent in posting our 3rd (and 4th for that matter) letters.

If you're just chomping at the bit to hear more about biscuits, tea, the M4, HRH, castles and the like, stay tuned, all will eventually be posted.

We recently celebrated the life of my dad, William Trojanovich, back in Boulder, Colorado. His obituary was posted in the Ranchland News, the local newspaper of Calhan, CO and surrounding area, as well as in the Daily Camera in Boulder, CO [here]. He will be sorely, sorely missed.
Why do I otherwise sound a measure chipper in this post? It's because I am happy that dad is now at peace.  While I can't put into words how much he means to me or how much I miss him, I am comforted knowing that he is in a better place and that his spirit lives on.  His illness got worse and worse and rendered him disoriented and completely incapacitated.

The family thanks you for all of the letters, emails, phone calls, contributions, flowers, in-person visits and thoughtful words at the service.  Your sentiments and condolences were heart felt and very much appreciated.  Dad's "extended family" was substantial:  he touched people as far afield as Slovakia, Germany and the UK, not to mention many parts of the US.  And from as diverse fields as the US Army, private pilots, computing associations, bee keeping, farming, family heritage, Boy Scouts of America, church community and more.  His roots are strong and they run deep.

If you would like to contribute to his memorial, our family has designated these three:
