Very sad news...  Kent Ringo has passed away.  He's now on a new journey with Caroline.  I will gather information for you to send sympathy notes to his daughters....  I just wanted you all to know....  He and Caroline will always be in our hearts and our woods....

Kent was ever a kind and considerate man. He quietly made our club a better place.

Kent and Caroline were both treasures in so many ways. They were the soul of our club and always will be.

Kent and Carolyn Ringo, what a fantastic O Couple.  Rest in Peace Kent.  This is especially ironic (to me) as I just emailed yesterday - to Ms M. Annie (Briar Patch ED) my recollections on "Both" Carolyn and Kent and how I met and remember both.  The Ringos - an Ir-replaceable duo and friends to all pair.  Bob R   DVOA

I made an album for my photos of the Ringos... I may have more, but there's lots to sort through.

I put up 4 photos. Three were taken at Kent's 90th birthday and other one during our last visit with them in 2012.

Ed, your link made me sign in and then told me I don't have permission to view the album

@Ed:  Your pic of Caroline pretty much summed her up...

It was a privilege to have known them for almost 30 yrs.

The orienteering world -- heck, the whole world -- is a better place for them having been here.
