Deanna, this is terrific! I want to use it. Do you know the author? >We are people to whom the past is forever speaking. We listen to it >because we cannot help ourselves, for the past speaks to us with many >voices. Far out of that dark nowhere which is the time before we were >born, men and women who were flesh of our flesh and bone of our bone went >through fire and storm to break a path to the future. We are part of the >future they died for; they are part of the past that brought the future. >What they did--the lives they lived, the sacrifices they made, the >stories they told, the songs they sang, and, finally, the deaths they >died-- make up a part of our own experience. We cannot cut ourselves off >from it. It is as real to us as something that happened last week. It is >a basic part of our heritage as human beings. Tom Tom Robison Ossian, Indiana tcrobi@adamswells.com "There are three things which are real: God, human folly and laughter. The first two are beyond our comprehension. So we must do what we can with the third." John F. Kennedy
