How I envy your friendship with this God-sent man, and how I wish I had reached out as an adult to him. He answered all my childhood letters on his "Neighborhood" stationery and signed every letter himself - responding to things I'd said, questions I'd asked. He was a constant of peace, of love, of calm for me in a turbulent childhood, and I never even tried to repay him.
Tomorrow, I'll be passing through Latrobe, Pa., where he rests, on my way to Pittsburgh. And my unworthy gift will be a concert of hymns at the foot of his mausoleum, just me, a rickety music stand and my flute. And as I play, those words that have so impacted you will be underscore my small gesture: deep and simple.
Thank you for what you're doing.
