Bill,
Heroes come in many shapes and sizes, but are recognized more often by
children than by grown-ups. Our fathers, whoever they may be, fill the
requirement handily. They set the standards by which we live our lives. As did
theirs before them. They didn't head out to be heroes, but when the need
arose, they responded through their own fear and frailties--and their success
carried through. Their is a certain confidence born of the self assurance and
plain old competence that comes from the knowledge that when you must, then
you can. We are lucky to have known a generation of such men--our fathers. And
I think we all share your grief, and honor the memories. Thank you for
sharing.
With Deepest Sympathies,
Vance Bradley
