since then. Last Sunday morning he awoke with extreme difficulties. The Hospice nurse came and felt he probably had a 'neurological event' the Saturday evening before, perhaps while sleeping. She took him to the Venice Hospice House at 6pm that night.

<div style="margin:0px;line-height:normal"><span style="margin:0px;color:black;font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:13pt">I visited him 90 minutes later. He was very calm but not very responsive. I shared my reflections as I showed him 4 photos -- his
parents, his brothers Neil and Denny, our doxies Star and Matilda and finally Bob and me. I also read two poems I had written (about the dogs!) and a love letter highlighting and thanking him for the special times we shared as a team in our community service/civil
rights efforts, followed by our strategic planning consulting, and finally in our various nature adventures. We had had these discussions before and had agreed that history had given us a fine ride! – and that hopefully we made the world a little better.<span style="margin:0px">
