An ode to Oscar

I wasn’t there when the great timber’s fell

And the great river swelled and washed them away

But, he remembered.

And we sometimes see their great ghosts

Buried in the sand below

Greetings and sorry for your loss. I remember many wonderful visits to the Carlson family as a kid. My Dad was a good friend of Oscar and us kids always had fun. My Dad is ninty and in poor health. Also remember the family dog that could climb up the tree and the time spent with his son as a kid. Again, I am sorry. William Tessman [email protected], 231-331-4492
