- HIGH FLIGHT
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air....
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark nor even eagle flew—
And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
The high un-trespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
John Gillespie Magee
For the past week, TK, when I’ve thought of Chuck, this poem has kept coming into my mind. We are so very sorry for your family’s loss, and for our loss. Please let us know if there’s anything that we can do to help you and your family now.

Hi Everyone...Chuck passed away tonight around 10PM. He so appreciated all of your cards, emails and other thoughts. He loved the RAT group and became choked up every time I mentioned any of you. He loved the "video toast" you gave him during the last meeting. Thank you for that.
And Steve...I passed along your message. Chuck truly enjoyed your sense of humor. Sorry you didn't get a chance to see him before he flew off "into the wild blue yonder".
