You are the bows.....Continued..Randy
After a year in the business world, Randy and Camille set off for Ithica, New York to reside high above Cauyaugas waters singing the praises of Cornell. Randy had early recieved newpapers from Ithica and discovered that there was a demand for horse trailers. There was no shortage of horse trailers in Colorado so Randy purchased one to haul their furnitue to their new home.By the time it was loaded and hucked up to the vintage Volvo sedan, the rear end of the Volvo and the front end of the trailer could be classified as low riders. So I insisted that we put on a load leveler trailer hitch so Donna and I would have less to worry about as the traveled to Ithica.
I was fortunate enough to visit them twice while they were at Cornell. The first time Randy took me to a home football game. It was an strange situation. All of the Cornell students were cheering for the other team.Unfortunately, it was one of the games that Cornell won. Randy explained that
Cornell wanted to be known as an accademic institutiion and not a jock shop. My second visit was the occassion of Randy's graduation and I can still visualize him throwing his mortar board high in the sky.
Camile was carrying Court so she took my place on the airline and Randy and I herded the Volvo westward to Colorado.It was nice to spend those days with our wonderful son, Randy.
He has been and is the greatest of Fathers and next Tuesday I will drive to Colordado to see his precious daughter, graduate from Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Colllins, Colorado. She is truly one of a kind. I do beleive they have thrown away the mould. Randy's son, Court, just completed his 2nd year at CU in Boulder. Court is another original
Since graduation, Randy has been employed by HP. He is one of the survivors and has served his company, his community and his family more than well. Some years ago he won their Star award and I hope that HP is wise enough to allow him to continue to shine.
From menory, I believe it's Longfellows, I share this verse in honor of Randy.
"Sail on, oh Ship of State,
Sail on , oh Union , strong and great.
Humanity with all it's fears,with all it's hope for future years,
It hanging breathless, at thy fate."
