I remember watching Ryan backflip off a cliff - making it look easy and wishing I could do it. Although I grew up on skis, I've never been that comfortable when the sticks are in the air. Ryan was agile, athletic and graceful and it impressed me.
Just like he is on skis, Ryan and his family run an impressive show in family life - making the most difficult parental maneuvers look effortless. I did this envelope for one of my life-long friends while contemplated all the reasons I love, miss and admire him and his family.
Ryan and I met 25 years ago in Russia while serving on our missions and have remained fast friends since then. He continues to lead me in examples of adventurous and wholesome (and sometimes dangerous) living.
