Pictured above
JOHN TYSON AND WIS GUTHRIE
circa 1970
John was an art professor at Carroll College
Wis was the chair of the department
Our mutual friendship was deep
and covered many events
some good, some bad.
John died at age 52 circa 1982
On the day he died
he waved at me as I drove
east on Arcadian near the root beet stand.
John was going into the Blackstone Bldg
and it was to be my last sighting of
a bosom friend.
He died later in the day
pounding in some real estate
stakes for his girlfriend, Gudron,
a serious consort.
John and I in our thick catalog
of similar interests enjoyed the
music of the blind guitarist/singer
Jose Feliciano.
I still treasure the33 rpm
Feliciano recordings now committed
to internal computer memory.
*Here's one song,
IN MY LIFE
from the records we nearly wore out:
There are places I'll remember All my life, though some have changed Some forever, not for better Some have gone and some remainAll these places had their moments With lovers and friends, I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life, I've loved them all But of all these friends and lovers There is no one compares with you And these memories lose their meaning When I think of love as something new Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life, I'll love you more Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life, I'll love you more (lyric by Jose) .................... Dee informs me there are some Congregational Church Holiday Sampler booklets found on the church premises that will be put out on the harvest table for people to pick up and enjoy - maybe leave a small contribution - or to just take.
