If there’s a heaven there is a dog heaven 

Just before dawn
glimpse waning crescent moon 
speeding to the east

I Remember Jim
I remember Jim for his humor and conversation in the Carriage Room.  a graduate of Rutland High School, Yale University, and the University of Virginia Law School in 1964 .James P. Carroll (Oct. 13, 1939 -- July 2, 2021)


I Remember Don.
I met Don in the late 70s when I first filled a a vacancy in his bridge club and then became a permanent member. He had the ability after the evening was over to replay each hand in imagination, in another contract or different lead. He played to bring out the best in us. How he loved it when someone else made a good play -- especially when using a skill he he had taught us. It was then he he gave us wonderful laugh and smile, which lives on in our memory. Donald Rushford ( September 28, 1930 – January 7, 2022)

I Remember John.
John  was a loyal friend and colleague. I remember him best for the  inimitable way he made a point, whether in conversation or in court, by asking a question followed by a long pause, then a raised eyebrow, a quizzical look and a knowing smile. John Hansen ( -  January 21, 2022)

I Remember Jeff.
Jeff owned Murphys and ran a tight ship. I lived almost 30 years in a house and kitchen he had designed and built. His photo captures his spirit. Jeff Munger (1943- 2022)

I Remember Catherine
After the fruit cup we partied in Willsboro Bay, and went bar hoping in Plattsburg. She was a good kisser. Catherine Hughes, 65, passed away at her home on July 29, 2022.

 I Remember Jim and Kathy
Jim, a reserved and patient man, married to gregarious Kathy.  Quick to smile and to offer aid. He came otmy rescue more than once. James Judge (Dec. 3, 1935 - Aug. 31, 2020 )

Kathy, also one of my rescuers. We all went skiing in Utah and Idaho back in the day.Kathleen Garahan Judge (July 20, 1943,- December 11, 2022)

I Remember John
And he remembered bouncing me on his knee when I was a baby. My oldest friend. Full of people  stories. Cryptic. I was lucky he befriended me and that we had long talk on his 89th birthday. 
John Webber (April 5 1934 - April 19, 2023)

I Remember Alban
A fellow Irishman with Jim and Kathy and another lover of life -- interested in everyone he met. He told me the story of being at his dieing father's bedside back in Ireland. "Remembered for his adventurous spirit.. . . and vast imagination" Alban Joseph Coghlan, born on July 9, 1940, passed away on May 8, 2023

I Remember Alan
Smart. Cynical. A protoge of John Carbine. Alan B. George aught me about deliberate ambiguity. In the end he disappeared from the barrooms.  But sent in his memories to the obituary page as one by one his colleagues passed on ... who will do this now?  Alan B. George (April 2, 1942 – August  2, 2023

The week ahead in Henry’s journal
A journal, a book that shall contain a record of all your joy.
"A stone fruit. Each one yields me a thought." ~ H. D. Thoreau, March 28, 1859


I sit on this rock
wrestling with the melody
that possesses me.
