One guy we will miss




They buried Bob Easterling today.


We knew Bob for years as a member of the First Congregational Church UCC, Waukesha WI. When we read the obituary we decided to attend the service. That might not have been the case but for our noticing that Bob was a para-glider in WW II. The fact that he never mentioned that to us, AND that he called us Captain when we led a church ushering team and acquiesced jovially to our terming him "Private Easterling" during those later years when Bob's hearing was failing ( he heard us nonetheless, augmenting his hearing by reading our lips?)............we gotta go.


We didn't know, Bob, we didn't know you were a para-glider when we jokingly called you "Easter egg." YIBAWE was never more apt. "Yes, ............AND WHAT ELSE?


Rest, Bob, in peace with your beloved Naomi!
