[AT] OT Pop's passing

[kgw]

George, I know it is not an easy thing, but do all you can to dwell on 
the positives.  My Dad, 87, grew up behind horses & mules, wanted OFF 
that farm and worked his way through a PhD from Purdue, and spent his 
working life in developmental agriculture around the world.  Today he 
has slipped into dementia. It is such a sad thing, watching your role 
model waste away like this.
