This was taken on our front porch here in Ohio, from where Howard (who was already sick at the time) on another occasion looked out to the west and commented on how beautiful the colors of the sunset were. He retained up to the end that special gift--the ability to appreciate things, and not just with his artist's eye but also more generally. That's one thing I'll always remember about Howard: his positive, appreciative attitude and his great capacity for enjoyment of even the simplest things. It's a wonderful legacy.

Love,
David
