I’m saddened to have to report that the author departed on his last great journey on Saturday, June 24th, 2023. He died peacefully at home with his family.
Thank you all for reading. This research project, the blog, and the book that it became were one of his great joys in retirement, and he never tired of receiving comments and book orders from all around the world.
This site will remain online for the foreseeable future. I’m not sure how long we will keep the book in print on Amazon, so if you’ve been meaning to order a copy, now might be a good time.
What follows is a fragment from his unpublished drafts. I can’t turn up a source for it, so it may well be his own words (but if it looks familiar to any of you, please leave a comment!).
Coyote Moon
Coyote is calling from the night.
Our pack is gathering
at the top of the pass,
where all trails meet at the end.
All my old friends will be there.
We will sing together
And roam free among the stars.
Time carries our lives like a river.
Only the mountains remain forever.
