THE WALL OF FACES

RIP young man

I was a child when you left us but to this day I honor you and all veterans in the family by working with the VFW Auxiliary. We love you!!

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 sun 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.

As long as you are remembered you will never truly die....

The Corunna High School Cavaliers' football team posed for a picture in the 'Sphinx' yearbook on page 71 in 1965. Dwight Ade was a senior and is shown on Row 3 at the very right end. I attended high school with Ade and was a year younger. I served in the Republic of Vietnam in 1968.

Dwight was a wonderful friend. Wil never forget our after dinner Euchre game before we headed off to study. You are ever in my thoughts. I touched your name on the Wall in D.C. I knew exactly where to find it as your name was on the cover of Newsweek magazine.
