The mind of the scholar if you would have
it large and liberal, should come in contact with other minds.
-H. W. Longfellow -Hyperion
American poet and scholar 1807 - 1882

Apologies for the condition of the article...
it's been in my Nesaki for forty years!
None the less, this man served us well,
thank you, Mr. Darby, you earned your star in heaven.

sorry, I don't have the rest of the story...

Have I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, I would like to be.
Oh, I can climb higher than an eagle,
For you are the wind beneath my wings.
You are the wind beneath my wings.
Lyrics by Larry Henley & Jeff Silbar, from  movie Beaches with Bette Midler.
