He also wrote a bit for the Journal & Guide once we came back to Virginia but as of yet, I haven't been able to locate any of those columns. I’m just glad that he kept the clippings.

As my only child is a daughter, I have a special appreciation for reading a daughter’s touching remembrance of her father. I got lucky -- it’s easy to be proud of my daughter. She‘s a solid citizen. Lucky me, I've also been fortunate enough to have known a few men not unlike your father. The older I get, the more I fear my generation has failed miserably to live up to the time-honored standards that were passed down to us. So, I think -- perhaps too much -- about what my grandfather would say now about our way of life, particularly about our conveniently slack standards for civility, courage and honesty. -- Terry Vivian,

Nice job. As my only child is a daughter, I have a special appreciation for reading a daughter’s touching remembrance of her father. I got lucky — it’s easy to be proud of my daughter. She‘s a solid citizen.

Lucky me, I’ve also been fortunate enough to have known a few men not unlike your father.

The older I get, the more I fear my generation has failed miserably to live up to the time-honored standards that were passed down to us. So, I think — perhaps too much — about what my grandfather would say now about our way of life, particularly about our conveniently slack standards for civility, courage and honesty.

– Terry

Many of your blogs are very articulate and insightful. Unlike many bloggers, you do not try to bait readers for a reaction but simply let them react to your words. Keep up the great writing. Your father would be proud. Now I see where you have obtained your skill for writing. Many of your blogs are very articulate and insightful.

Too often we keep the memories inside and others miss out on "knowing" the people who helped shape us to become who and what we are. Your father sounds like an awesome person. I am looking forward to reading his columns in the future. I also think he'd be very proud of you. I know that I admire you for your activism and passion. Keep up the good work!

Any parent would be glad to have children like that.

And if considering how your daughter will think of you when she's older is what motivates you to do it, always keep her in mind. Very cute kids, BTW ;) Chris – I think the only thing you can do is be the best father that you can be.

I am really moved by it. You communicated the deep integrity of the man. It left me thinking: what will my daughter will think of me? And, what should I do to improve myself and contribute to others (as your father did) ? Wondering about how she will think of me puts a powerful perspective on how to live better.
