Just A Little Shy of 5:00
My Dear People,
If you're standing at President Kennedy's grave, at Arlington, and you turn around, you will find yourself facing onto a circular lawn, bounded by an immaculate pale-grey-almost-white flagstone walkway.
From the President's grave, at 12:00, across the trimly-cut one hundred yards, you can see where I want to take you, to just a little shy of 5:00.
Of course we don't want to cut across the lawn, so we head clockwise and slightly downhill, along the marble perimeter; and, before you know it, we're there.
In section 5, eight supreme court justices are buried, including Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. and Thurgood Marshall.
Admiral Rickover is there too.
And so is Page Harmon.
Page's grave is right next to Justice Holmes'. And nearby are Ben's parents and grandparents.
It's a beautiful spot, as you'd imagine.
And Tuesday was crisp and sunlit.
Beautiful. For a life beautifully lived.
Indeed. Indeed.
Thanks be to God,
Your brother in Christ,
Wallace+
