Dear Sunny, <br><br>When you sent out the first announcement of your father's death, one of my responses was to ask his name. Here it is ..... So Sunny, as I celebrate with you and your family the life and death of H.L Walker, or LeMar as he choose to be called, I appreciate the image of the pine box that seems to be emerging. Be well and continue to tell the stories of our lives and all of those who have gone before.<br>
<br>Love, <br><br>Nancy<br>

there” – and no, I’ve not gone over to the dark side. I
simply enjoy some of the old 2-story images on occasion and the death of my
thoroughly agnostic, yet brilliant father who made sure I didn’t really
believe in it either is one of them.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>

finally let go around midnight last night. I re-read JWM’s “The
Time My Father Died.” I can’t remember if I’d shared it with
Dad, but I know he would have gotten quite the bang out of the pine box story.
He would have preferred a pine box as well, if we weren’t allowed to
simply roll him into a ditch and be done with it.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>

as he only came with Mom to one Summer program (might have been the big one in ’84)
and cheerfully did his duty setting the Great Hall for breakfast. He’d,
on his own, read most of the “greats” of our history and maintained
a disciplined, albeit rather stoic (or perhaps just west <u></u><u></u>Texas<u></u><u></u> stubborn) attitude throughout his
life. I miss him and certainly celebrate all he passed on to me and our family.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
