Well, I was gonna post a follow-up to Kev's post about God Providing. But, on second thought, he pretty much nailed it, so I'm gonna post a reply to Barb the Evil Genius instead. She asked if I know a cacher named SherwoodForest. (See comments to previous post). And, since I'm obviously sooooo on top of moderating my comments, she thought it didn't go through so had to ask again. :D
Answer: Yes and no. We know of him. Sadly, we never did have the privilege of meeting him in person. We have met several of his friends, and many, many people whose lives he has touched. There's even a cache "series" dedicated to him: the Badger Patrol. Our cache, Second Nature: MUSHROOMS! is a Badger Patrol Cache, in fact.
We've been told that he was instrumental in getting the MidWest GeoBash organized, and up and running. The Fourth Annual MidWest GeoBash is, in fact, going to be taking place in Kendallville, Indiana this very weekend (August 7, 8, 9, 10) at the Noble County Fairgrounds along State Road 6. Walk-ins are very much welcome, so if you want to see what this "geocaching" thingy is all about, please do stop by! People come from all over to attend. Last year we met people from Washington, New York, North Dakota, and Alberta! It's a lot of fun, a great reason to get out and enjoying the day, and for me it's a great way to exercise - and a fabulous reason to go walk around instead of sitting on my duff.
Oh, yeah, and the Pasta-meat sauce-Texas Toast dinner was a big hit. Especially the Texas Toast.

Eric Sherwood was in the same class in college as my husband, and he was our good friend in college and until his passing. We were acquainted with his parents and attended his funeral. It was he who got my husband interested in geocaching. It's good to know his memory lives on.
