W:This tune gradually came together over a period of time in the summer of 2002 during the
W:final months of my dad's life. He was able to spend them in his own home under the care
W:of his wife Nezi and my brother Dick, my sisters Cindy and Carol, our nieces Hilary and
W:Lauren, and our wonderful uncles, aunts, and cousins.

W:I periodically took my fiddle out to his garage there to play freely without bothering
W:anyone. Relaxed and released by music, my thoughts often turned to the enormity
W:of our father's contributions to the fields of guidance and psychological services and
W:the innumerable lives bettered as a direct or indirect result of his efforts.

W:I dearly wanted to play the tune with my cousins and old friends at the memorial service
W:at Springfield College to which he had given his all for 38 years. But until July of 2003,
W:no matter how often I tried, I just couldn't finish it. Now it's done...I think...
