Re: Happy Birthday John!

Lately, I've reflected too that--whatever their imperfections--they at least exposed us to the gospel. Good on you and Tuly for doing the same for yours.

Re: Happy Birthday John!

Betsy is not pictured because she had just given birth and was indisposed...as was--come to think of it--Robert, but at the opposite end of the spectrum of indisposition. I noticed simply the drastic contrast in expression between parents and children including Nancy. I beg your pardon, but I rememb...

Re: Happy Birthday John!

robert_graveside.jpg The other day, Richard Childs drove me over to Kinko's to have the above pic of us children at Robert's graveside scanned in color. As we were looking at the original print, I was pointing out each of us and saying where we were today. When we got to you, Richard recalled your ...

Judgment

Not to put too fine a point on it, but in recent discussions with Bruce Bergman, John Spencer's son, we have found it useful to distinguish between exercising judgment (usually helpful) and passing judgment (usually problematic). So, diddle-diddle dumpling, my brother John, was our great-great-great...

A verse by Oliver B.

As Gene Wolfe says in his tribute to JRR Tolkien, I can say only that I wish there were more imitators -- we need them -- and that all imitations of so great an original must necessarily be inferior. http://home.clara.net/andywrobertson/wolfemountains.html Mom used to say that if nothing else, you c...

His equal?

When Ian says some have not lived up to Oliver's wish, is he talking about you?

Confrontation

I don't have anything helpful to add to the substantive discussion; characteristically, I was drawn to the subtext of the meaning of "confrontation."
