I hope you share this with his family and I would love to find a way to share with our community at BI. Please let me know how you think we might do this.

And, of course, Pat you put things so well.

Your post is also a timely reminder about our responsibility to vote. When my mother was born, women were not even allowed to vote in national elections in the U.S. I try to remember that hard-fought battle on election day.

I am always moved by the scene when I go to vote. Here we all are, neighbors of all ages and conditions, with diverse political views, and we can line up in orderly fashion, without fear or violence. Some have small children in tow; some have assisted an elderly relative or friend to get there. In so many countries in the world, a scene like this cannot occur. We should not forget that fact.
