do not stand at my grave and weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Remembering Dick
Dick and Bob were next door neighbors on Ave B, and both were big brothers to me. Dick took me on my first overnight hiking trip on the Long Trail (via Lefferts Pond) and Bob took me to my first day on skis at Pico. Their influence on my life has been enormous. They instilled in me a lifetime love of the outdoors. Thank you. Bob. I never had the chance to thank Dick.

Faithful Servant of Jesus Christ
I remember Dick leading Bible Studies at he University of Missouri. He went to our church and was telling me when he joined the Navy (he was going to be drafted), he would not be coming back. Two weeks after getting to Vietnam, he was killed. A faithful servant of Jesus Christ.
