Man, I can still hardly believe he's gone (from our little World here, I mean). He was an inspiration.

As for the Great Journey, some make it with anticipation or expectation, a few with joy, others with dread, others meet it entirely by surprise. Not for me to say which way is best, but...

"You and I'll be known as the Great Survivors
We came all this way for the journey, not the ride
Then we took a breath, spread our wings,
Left behind those needless things,
And headed out across the Great Divide"

That's the chorus from a song I wrote about 10 years ago called "The Great Survivors". As one survivor to many others I say, travel light and travel well, and I'll see you in the next grand adventure, if not before then.

Thanks for the thread, Larry.
