Jerry,

	Having lost someone dear to me just a tad over 24 hours before
	your father breathed his last, I certainly can empathize and
	I wish you all the best.  It sounds like he was a good man.
	My foster father was like that; an expert instrumentation
	maker and I admired his skill and solid decency.

	So perhaps tonight if I have a beer, I will raise a toast to
	George Alvin Frost along with my dear Jack.  Perhaps they will
	wait for us to meet again.  At least, I hope that such things
	are so.

And then Craig Marion, get out wi' ye Claymore out 
mi pocket a' ran doon, doon the middin stain
picking the fiery horde that was fallen around ma feet.

"Never" he cried, "never shall it ye get me alive
ye rotten hound of the burnie crew." 

Well I snatched fer the blade O my Claymore,
cut and thrust and I fell doon before him round his feet.

Aye! A roar he cried frae the bottom of his heart that 
I would nay fall but as dead, dead as 'a can be by his feet; 
de ya ken?
