In Memoriam

MY BEAUTIFUL WRANGELL (2001-2021)

CYNTHIA LEE KATONA (1947-2016)

Christine Bolt asked that I create a book of remembrances by Cynthia’s friends, lovers and admirers. The format is 8×10 landscape with 64 pages of stories, poems and images celebrating the joy and laughter that is Cynthia Lee Katona. Four additional pages from the April 23, 2017 Memorial have been added. For you, Cynthia: PDF:  CLK_May 2017

Professor Cynthia Lee Katona was not like most women in history.

EARL Moyer and MAE Miller Moyer

Sometime in the 1980’s I gave my grandparents journals with a list of questions. I asked them to describe their youth, their dreams, their most significant events, what gives them the most happiness, the most pain, and what they think about death. Although they didn’t write much, here are their words. PDF: Earl&Mae Moyer

JIM HARRISON (1937-2015)

from Sketch for a Job–Application Blank

My left eye is blind and jogs like
a milky sparrow in its socket;
my nose is large and never flares
in anger, the front teeth, bucked,
but not in lechery—I sucked
my thumb until the age of twelve
O my youth was happy and I was never lonely
though my friends called me “pig eye”
and my teachers thought me looney.

Favorite quote by Jim
“An old man knows what it is to be young; but a young man doesn’t know what it is to be old.”
