Thank you to those who joined our celebration of Mike’s life.  The stories and photos you shared were much appreciated.  In lieu of flowers, donations were made in Mike's name to the Yosemite Fund (www.yosemitefund.org)

 In spite of all the learned have said, I still my old opinion keep;   

 the posture that we give the dead, points out the soul’s eternal sleep.  

 Not so the ancients of these lands, the Indian, when from life released, 

 again is seated with his friends, and shares again the joyous feast.
