Jeremy: ...and even though Dick was twice elected President of The Maryland Audubon Society, he never abused that position or put on airs. How best to honor our fallen colleague? After putting on our thinking caps, we in the society came up with a tribute we think is fitting. For the next minute, in an ornithologists' salute, we will all perform our favorite bird calls. Everyone ready? ...Altogether! Group: Honk! Quack! Caw! Plaat! Chee wicky! Chirp! Lacey: I don't know how much more of this I can take.

It speaks volumes about him that Dick didn’t let the power go to his head.

That’s completely charming. Might I go off with such grace and caring.

Also this is completely implausible. She was this great woman and she didn’t handle this send-off gracefully? Nah. Arc fail. She should have stood up and joined them.

I’ve planned two old-fashioned pieces (suitable for one of my generation) if any memorial service is given for me: “Today” and “The Halls of Ivy.” And if someone says, “Most of the time, he meant well.” I’ll consider that a flattering epitaph.

At my mom’s service, we had a bubble machine and the organist playing “Lawrence Welk music” while we spoke our memories of her. It was a celebration rather than a sad occasion.

There was an Apple Computer commercial about an old couple in a big lonely farm house making bird mating calls to each other.
