Thanks, George, for pulling this together and for representing those of
us who will not be physically present. Now here's my two cents
worth:<br><br>
<pre>Charles Moore was, as many have attested, good at confronting people
with decisive questions that affected their lives. Well, he’s done it
again. His death surprised us all. And when we’re surprised, we’re up
against Mystery, another name for which is God. It’s difficult now as
always to affirm that ultimate unknown as Father.
Trying to understand or explain Charles’ death is really beside the
point. Together, though scattered, we've mourned and celebrated the
unique and unrepeatable life of one who influenced so many of us. And in
honoring him we've once again manifested John Donne’s insight:
No one is an island entire of itself; every one
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
</pre>

is the
less…<font face="Courier New, Courier">It seems we are the less with
Charles gone. And the bell tolls for us all.<br><br>

We are planning to give a printed copy of our remarks (ICA & OE list
serves) about Charles to Pat and Barbara. I have assembled (first
run) the comments from our list serves. Please read and edit your
comments if needed. If other comments have been made that I missed,
or if you wish to add one, please forward it to me. Make it quick
because I will try to make a final copy and dress it up a bit Saturday
morning.<br><br>
The comments I have so far are attached in MSWord document form. I
can also send it in Mac Pages or PDF.<br><br>
The Service will be at 2:00 PM, Faith Presbyterian Church, 1314 E Oltorf
