As the Old Year Ends

 

As the grandfather clock begins to chime,

To summon the start of a brand New Year,

I give thanks for the gifts of the year just ending,

And for family and friends gathered here.

As glasses are raised in celebration,

I wonder what this next year will hold,

Will the summer heat bring endless drought?

The winter deep snows and biting cold?

I look to my sons, Hoss, Adam and Joe,

I hope the year will be good to my boys,

May they fare well, be healthy and strong,

And know no sorrows, only joys.

And for all my dear friends gathered here,

To celebrate, with us, the turning of the year,

May the months ahead be pleasant ones,

Filled with happiness and good cheer.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

On the 24th December 2018 the Bonanza Universe lost one of our dear friends and writers.  Kathleen Pitts (KateP) was a prolific writer of Bonanza fan fiction, a familiar name throughout most of the Bonanza forums where her stories are posted, read, and enjoyed by so many for so long.

Born in Bristol, England, UK Kate was married with two children and grandchildren.   She was a founding member of Bonanzabrits and eventually became the Moderator for that forum where she kindly led many to write and enjoy everything Bonanza for many years.   She was kind, patient, and always encouraging to fans old and new.

Sadly three years ago she retired from Brits and from writing when she was diagnosed with cancer.  We are more than grateful that so many still have the advantage and pleasure of reading her stories here on Brand, as well as other sites for Bonanza fanfiction.   KateP will live on through her stories, and from the many friends she made over the years.
