I’m so sad, Cynthia. I didn’t know what to think when you messaged
the other day—actually thought it was a hoax, but so glad that I was able to
respond with stories of our past. Off
and on, I have thought of you two, particularly when I heard about one of your
adventures—birding, butterflies, diving and more recently, when we traded
Facebook postings. I have so many
indelible memories of Bob and you from (my God) nearly 50 years ago. If there was one period in the Order I truly
treasure, it was those brief years we worked together and cared about one
another. You guys were the definition of
Priors. I recall Bob and me taking a
week’s trip, from Arizona to Washington state, sniffing out new locations for
HDPs, talking mostly strategies for the future.
It was a privilege to be his, and your, colleague but mostly—your
friend. You know I could go on and on,
but you get the gest. Take good care of yourself.
