Read MoreI was a classmate of Gerrie's at the University of Hawaii in the late 1960's. We had great fun diving for shells below Diamond Head and as I watch the home movies taken during those carefree days, I recall our good friendship. I am sorry to learn of Gerrie's passing.

Dear Lena,
I am so sorry to see that Gerrie has died. I grew up down the street from him in Ponoka and I know that when you travelled to Alberta, you and Gerrie would come to see my mother, Alice Brekke. I was there for one of your visits, and I was so happy to see how wonderfully Gerrie's life had worked out. I was also very happy that when Gerrie came to a high school reunion in Ponoka, I got a chance to reconnect with him. He was one of those people that you are so glad...

Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may...
