I'll be over at Arlington Cemetery this weekend saying hello to my dad, RC-Ryder and all the other veterans who served our country so well.

And wishing my dad a happy birthday - he would have been 96 next Tues.

Nice. As I mention earlier, we stopped in Marblehead and drank a toast to RC on the way back from SF. We stopped at my parents graves in PA on the way there. Tomorrow it's Donna's. By remembering them they all live on.

When it's election time I am always fondly reminded of John <RC-Ryder>. He was passionate in his discussions of his conservative politics, and - agree or not - we had to admire his command of the issues and his articulate expression of his views; always with kindness and with respect.

Rest in Peace, John. We miss you in Vintage!
