Ada Carr, wife of Les Carr, passed away this
afternoon at 4:30 p.m. PST after a very short bout with cancer. Les talked
constantly about his wife and family while we rode together and it was clear
that Ada meant the world to him.
Les and I had talked many times about Jim and I
traveling the short distance to Somerset to meet Ada who was a professional
gourmet chef and a respected artist. But we never could seem to find the time to
arrange it. She and her daughter had been commissioned to have a
mother-daughter art showing in New York in September before the onslaught of
Ada's cancer. Besides Tulip, Les and Ada also had a pair of Icelandics and loved
to pleasure ride together.
Cards of sympathy may be sent to:
Mr. Les Carr
7900 Shenandoah Lane
Somerset, CA 95684
I am hoping that we will see Les on the trail soon,
where he may find solice in the trails he loves and in the friendship of his
endurance family.
