If you look right above this post you will see the Map of our little Community. You will see the <strong>&#8220;LSDROBO Military Reservation&#8221;<\/strong> Many of you know what and who that refers to.<br \/>\nEarlier this week I learned that our community member and my friend LSD Robo or better known as Robert D. Brinsfield II Passed away on Feb 24th 2014 In his sleep Peacefully at home.<br \/>\nRobert was preceded in Death By his wife Deb whom many of you knew also. He is Survived by his parents and a sister.<br \/>\nI first met Robert when he was introduced to our group by a friend <em>(Many of you know Booker)<\/em> and I instantly liked him. The Robert that many of you knew was different from the person that we met many years ago. <em>(as most of us are)<\/em> He was the 1st person that I knew that was into Apple computers when Windows PCs were becoming the rage. We shared many of the same likes and interests from music to politics. I always enjoyed having political discussions and sometimes debates with him.<br \/>\nHe had a love of Flying as his father was a pilot and anytime there was any airplane story in the news he helped put all the technical jargon in perspective for me.<br \/>\nHe would come to where I worked back in the late &#8217;80s and early &#8217;90s after I got off work on Friday nights and we would go for a late dinner and discuss events of the day.<br \/>\n One of the things I will always remember is the time that took his rifle out to the field\/range and tried every way we could think of to prove that Oswald fired the shots the way the Warren Commission said he did, <strong>Needless to say it was impossible<\/strong>.<br \/>\nHe loved weapons and for a while did all our reloading.<br \/>\nThe other thing I will never forget is the 4th of July out at the Pasture we were having a big party one year, after lots of firing and MR conducting a live fire class for the guests we loaded all the weapons up in his Truck to take them back to MRs house. Just as we were driving out of the gate we were met by a <strong>OK. County Sheriff<\/strong>. We get out of the truck that&#8217;s loaded with guns <em>(Picture Bonnie and Clyde&#8217;s Car)<\/em> I have a .38 on my hip I don&#8217;t remember if he was wearing a weapon at the time or not. The cops ask us if we had been shooting? They had a call that there was someone firing a <strong>machine gun<\/strong>, We told them we had been shooting and were now taking all the guns from the area. I still don&#8217;t know how we talked our way out of them searching the truck.<br \/>\nRobert had been in poor health lately complicated from Diabetes, he had lost part of a leg in Dec. &#8217;12 he had been suffering from depression for some time and I feel that these contributed to his untimely passing. We had not been in close contact since early &#8217;13 and for that I am now sorry.<br \/>\nRobert was 51 years old, <strong>That&#8217;s too damn young to go<\/strong>. So Robo I will miss you and will always cherish the memory of your friendship. Good Bye my Friend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friends.
