I would like to sing the phrases of Earl Williamson.   More than 15 years ago, when he came back to sell his family house in Oxon Hill, we were able to spend a little time together.  

As most of you know, Earl died as a result of a long-time injury that happened in South America.  As I remember the story,  Earl was one of a number of passengers an armed robber was holding up.  A fellow passenger was being terrorized, Earl jumped in front of the woman to protect her, he succeeded, but he got shot and critically injured.    
In spite of thereafter living with significant pain,  he had an excellent attitude, sunny philosophy, and true appreciation of life.    I remember being amazed by his still keen love for adventure.   

 Earl and I were friends and neighbors when we were growing up.  I knew and loved his parents and I am so thankful that he and I had those lovely times together before he moved to Alaska. 
 I've often thought of him, living happily near his beloved grandchildren.   I'm sure he was a wonderfully positive influence on them and their philosophy of life.
  I extend my love and condolences to his family and join those who miss his active presence on earth.

Hermine-so nice to be able to contact you. My hard drive broke - in the middle of our interactions - and then with the new computer - I wasn't "logged in" anymore on the Class of 61 web site. Hope you are doing well and wishing you and your family a wonderful happy New Year.

I remember Louis with sweet warmth.
