Welcome to The Nightly Vigil where my Altar ego, Rev Buckman and the Hudson River Bi-Polar bear Ralph represent the two other sides of my mixed up persona... My Son, Jesse died at 18 in 1992 and my Barbara, died in 2003...So, I kinda wear my heart out on my sleeve and hang my dirty laundry out for all the world to see.... Unfortunately, sometimes, but it can't be helped. ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ******** MY WEBSITES:http://mytown.ca/outsiders/beukema/**************** ************************************************http://mytow n.ca/beukema/*********************************************** *****************http://members.tripod.com/buckmaniac/index. htm
