<p> "OH3 Hashers<br>
</p>
<p>With tears welling up in my eyes and great sadness I post
to this list of the tragic loss that we suffered this past
Saturday.<br>
<br>
We literally lost our dearly beloved Mommy's Murple on
trail, a hasher who didn't have a mean bone in his body,
could run faster than the wind and whose smile was so
infectious it might be a long time before we will all be
able to smile again without it in our circle. We are in
complete and utter shock... Those of you in Okinawa may have
gotten to know him at Nash Hash.<br>
<br>
What had started out as beautiful November day with a lovely
shiggilicious eagle trail through the nether regions of the
greater Iwakuni area... ended up in tragedy when veteran
hasher more than 100 runs (quite impressive in IWSH3 which
only runs 2 times a month... only 6 other hashers own that
headband) and super fast FRB, the ire of all hares... died
in the most inaccessible part of the trail, deep in head
high ferns and up a 55 to 65 degree incline to the saddle of
mountain... Unfortunately despite over an hour of CPR by
members of our hash and us amazingly finding him curled up
in the pitch black and escorting the EMTs to his location we
were unable to revive his cold body. More tragic for us was
he was an amazing runner in the kind of shape as Ghost
Rider... he went down at the very beginning of the trail one
of the last places we suspected him to be... as we operating
our search on the premise that he had fallen and could not
get out on his own searching the whole trail and the steep
portions of the beginning.<br>
</p>
<p>All signs point to that he may have suffered a heart attack
but at this point we don't know. We tragically mourn his
loss and would ask that our mother hash and brother and
sister hashers pour a little beer out in his honor and hold
your drinking vessels high and have a down down in Mommy's
Murple's honor. The only saving grace of having to deal
with the droves of agents from the Japanese side and the US
side... Japanese National Police, Coroners, PMO, CID and
NCIS escorting them complaining up the mountain to where he
laid is that we found him first and Murple as he commonly
referred to here, died doing what he loved and with those
friends he most enjoyed to spend his time with.<br>
<br>
There may be ramifications that springs out from this we
don't know (the Japanese translator for either the police or
PMO went off in quite a rude description of the hash... "Oh
the hash is involved in this, that group no wonder... to the
Japanese EMTs grouping to hike up ... "it's a group of
trouble makers who... there was more but I had divorce
myself from eavesdropping on his conversation in Japanese as
I about ready to tear his fucking head off for being so
insensitive at the hour of our greatest tragedy) maybe he
thought since it was only gaijin around that maybe we
wouldn't understand... fortunately everyone else we dealt
with was at least empathetic to our tragedy.<br>
<br>
We pray nothing more comes of it than the tragic loss of his
smile in our circle and so far at least from the US side
they have been quite sympathetic.... but as OH3 is no
stranger to witch hunts that are born out of different
innocent incidents that have occurred that somehow get lead
back to the so called "deviant" behavior that some puritan
authority figure with an axe to grind makes us hashers out
to have. I ask that you stay vigilant and caution as the
news of his tragic loss filters through the military grape
vines.<br>

On in utter shock On+++><br>
