Persistence Paid

For Jonathan Myhre, who is 3 now, what little he remembers of his father is of happy moments — like the time "Daddy took me to buy ice cream." Richard Todd Myhre wanted so badly to spend time with his son, said his wife, Gail, that he took a pay cut to go to Cantor Fitzgerald because it would leave him more time at home. And Mr. Myhre, 37, wanted the time he spent with people, whether family or friends, to be special, she said, describing him, simply, as a "happy" person — "an ordinary person who died an extraordinary death."

A persistent person, too. The couple met when she was a bartender and he asked for her number. She didn't give her number to customers, she said, but if he wanted he could come to the sign-up for a dart league (she was a team captain). When he showed up an hour early, she said, "I knew he was serious."

The dart league remained a favorite shared pastime until Jonathan was born, and then there was little time. But the Myhres loved vacationing in Newport, R.I., and had thought of buying a condo there.

It's been 22 years... You will never be forgotten Here's the link to 9/11/2023 Buffalo Bills - National Anthem NYPD officers, Bills-Jets fans sing US National A...: https://youtu.be/spEZW6hjjLI Remembering.... you ran the Valentine's Day Carnation Flower Sale at in the Dorms at University at Buffalo Love you forever

I didn't know Richard at all. His name is printed on a card that was handed to me during a memorial service for those who passed away in the World Trade Center on 9/11. I placed the card in the slot on my checkbook, typically reserved for a driver's license. Every time I use my checkbook I see Richard's name and reflect on the impermanence of life. This is now made more meaningful to me because my husband of 4 years (Thomas Chauvel) passed away suddenly and tragically on February 6, 2020....

It's your birthday again and so many special wonderful people have joined you in that land beyond this land, since last year. I hope you find each other and celebrate your reunion.

Happy Birthday ... clock says 333 am ...
