…who has shared our mourning days, no greeting like his welcome, no homage like his praise.” So goes an old poem. So it goes with my pal Douglas T. Bates III.
Chuck, I was delighted to see your article about the glorious event in honor of my beloved brother. You captured the essence of the occasion, and I am grateful to have your report and Mary's pictures. It was wonderful to see you again and especially wonderful to meet your beautiful wife. I fell in love with her when I read her very first post on your site. You are looking really good by the way. Love, Anne
