Passing Storm Over The Smokies - Thinking Of Buz And Jim

Buz Keifer and Jim Coffman are two phase friends who both love the Smokies. I have not seen any postings by Buz in a long time and Jim is dealing with a serious health issue. I am posting this image photographed from Clingmans Dome as I think and pray that each is doing well. I really miss seeing their new postings and excellent photography.

Dave, just seeing this now. Very thoughtful of you. I’ve had a few problems but I’m ok. Not 100% but doing ok. I hear from Jim with a meme occasionally but I believe he is still undergoing rehab. Can’t thank you enough for your prayers and posting this grand view captured beautifully from Clingmans. BV

What a beautiful image to associate with Buz and Jim. I too miss their postings. I understand Jim is home now. Hope he makes a complete recovery. Sometimes I see postings from Buz on Facebook. He looks well. Hope you and your family stay safe during these trying times. It is so nice to see photos of places we can't travel to now! Please keep posting your beautiful work Dave.

Love the light in the distance and that wonderful sky.

A beautiful capture by you, and I'm sure we all share your sentiments concerning Jim and Buz. V.

a scene to treasure...The Smokies are a favourite of Jim, so hope he can fight back against his current medical woes...Buz lives in that area, but no word for a while on how he's actually doing..trust he is OK..
Hank Vander Velde16-Mar-2020 15:42
An amazing view, well captured Dave. Your sentiment and prayers w.r.t. Jim are much appreciated. I've not met either and I've not followed Buz on Pbase, but Jim is an old and dear pbase friend as we both started following each others postings some 14 years ago.
