Her Obituary

She also had a poetry thread here in Free Republic for several years.

"Of Broomsticks and Thistles
and old bones that rattle
down old dirt roads
driving rusty old jalopies
white with dust and time
while
grey headed ghosts
turn with a grin
a toothy smile he smiles
at the two of them
he looks straight thru them
as an xray machine
and counts the vertabre line by line
quickly he turns with a jerk and a shout
his pig nose exposes an obnoxious smirk
his hollow eyes gleam red
and
down this dirt road
everyone is dead.

My son was born at Manhattan KS, when I was stationed there and assigned to the Big RED 1.

I'm still a bit numb from learning of Feather's passing from her daughter yesterday. We were friends for several years and she's one of the few Canteeners I've had the pleasure of meeting. We had a delightful week together when she visited us.

Rest in peace, Feathers, as your spirit soars. You will be missed.

RIP, Ms Feather.
Prayers of peace for you and your family.

She visited me here in Alaska as well.
She got to walk on a glacier and thought that was cool.
