That's unfortunate you weren't able to know that at the time of her passing. <br /><br />Life is short, so it's best to follow our passions because that's really all we take with us when we our time is up.

I recently learned a young neighbor girl who used to play with me and my sister when we were kids died of the same thing. Sad, I found out about 6 years after the fact, but it hit me like it had just happened. Richard:

We certainly did have a great time helping you move to Iowa and shoot your wedding. There's certain things you don't forget in life, and those moments were definetely two of them. Thanks Daniel.

I think your comments were spot on. Herbert was one of the nicest people I knew. He always devoted his time to his family and cousins. He (like you) were one of the few cousins who attended my wedding not to mention volunteered to help me move half way across the country when I went to graduate school. If that is not a sign of generosity, what is? His presence at family meetings will surely be missed. That was a very touching post, one that I was happy to read. I think your comments were spot on.

Yes, actually I have been to Galen's Bishop gallery a few times. It's huge, and awesome. I like the guest exhibits too. Vern Clevenger was on display once and Jack Dykinga another time. Thanks guys.

Writing this post and sharing the photographic experiences you shared with him, is a great way to start the healing process. On a lighter note, have you ever been to Galen Rowell's galleries? I've been to both of them. His first one in the Bay Area and the current one in Bishop. I even have a photo of myself standing with him (from my first trip), along with 2 local high school photography teachers. One of them is a good friend of mine. We took a bunch of students there on a field trip many years ago. If you haven't been to the one in Bishop, I highly recommend that you do.<br /><br />Take care,<br />Sherri I’m also sorry to hear of your loss.
