Behold my tag line, which is written on a bronze plate on a boulder at his graveside...
....a few yards away from Harry Chapin's grave, the man who started World Hunger Year, a clearinghouse for information on resources for the hungry all over the world to avail themselves of, including sustainable agriculture....
...near the small old wooden crosses marking the graves of colonial slaves who expended their lives where they eventually fell....
....a few yards away from the first Audubon park in the world, Audubon being a friend of T.R.'s, and whose journals, filled with some of the best wildlife paintings ever made, and much to the consternation of modern American left-wingers far and wide, equally filled with recipes.
"In the lifelong fight for righteousness, the watchword for us all is "Spend, and be Spent."
