I always loved to visit the Bendt's WADI campsite, especially to visit with Jim. In our earlier days, it was more of a beerfest than a visit. I recall Jim and I sitting up into the wee hours solving the world's problems, and if we ran out of beer, we would walk over to Rossi's truck, tap another keg and continue! We would laugh together for many years after, when our bodies wouldn't let us do that anymore. Jim and the Bendt family were great supporters of the Ol' Goats, and their camp was always one of the friendliest to visit. I still proudly show the Ol' Goat quilt that C. Bendt made for the 50th Wadi auction in 2015, draped over the sofa in our family room. Every time spent around Jim was a good time, and I will always recall them with appreciation that Jim allowed me to share a part of his life. Goodbye, my friend! Ol' Goat Tom Elliott.
