I called my sponsor, Bret Hicken, tonight to ask about going trapping on Saturday and left a message as nobody answered. A minute later I got a call back, from his son. He told me that his dad passed away last night from a heart attack. Of course I was shocked and dismayed and sad for them and all those things. Hard to believe when you see someone recently and then they're gone a week later.
Of course this means I'll need to find a new sponsor. I called a falconer who lives close by that knew my Bret to make sure he heard the news. After that conversation he let me know he'd help out as best he could and we'd talk about apprenticeship in the near future. We'll see what works out.
Meanwhile, I hope Bret's family is well and able to carry on in peace.
