Thank you, very kindly. I have two collections of his work, but they are far from complete. My dad, an old Air Force officer, was also a big fan, and used to recite lines from "The Cremation of Sam McGee" to me at night, on our fishing trips, alone under the stars. It's a great memory for me.
I say we find out if he's wax - stick a cotton rope up his butt and light him on the Fourth of July.
