At Joe's funeral a remembrance card was given to all the friends and family. On the card is a picture of Joe and the poem below penned by WWII pilot John Gillespie Magee, Jr. Out of curiosity I researched the history and meaning of the poem. I encourage everyone to go to the link below the poem and gain insight into Joe and his family. It is a remarkable story.
High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds,—and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air. . . .
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark nor ever eagle flew—
And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Happy Birthday, Van! Here's a cake to help you celebrate. My daughter-in-law actually baked and decorated this for my granddaughter. I am sharing with you! MA
Hi Mike, You certainly were missed at the reunion! Sorry to hear about all your medical issues, but happy things are getting better. I am still in CL with no plans to move. Semi-retired and working for my daughter as an optician, and substituting in Woodstock Schools for their after school program. My daughter and her family live nearby. My sons and their families live in Denmark and in Portland, OR, so I don't get to see them much except for , FaceTime. I get together weekly (or more) with all the girls who still live here and visit here often--Pam Hart, Meg Greenwell, Nanci Houston, Kathy Morgan, Gig Fues, and some other women from other classes too. We all play mahjongg once a week. It is lots of fun. We all think we are still 16! Gotta go to work. Keep in touch! MA
