Glenn's Memorial Bonfire

 

 

Frank Addington had come to Plum Creek and Bassett after his engagement of exhibition aspirin shooting a Ponca State Park Expo on the 18th and 19th of September.   

    We learned of Glenn's completed journey of life with us when we opened our e mail from Diane Miller on arrival home from Ponca. 


 

In keeping with our tradition, we planned Glenn's bonfire to burn one of his arrows for Monday evening when we would all be at the Keim Place and the cabin.    As you all know, apple pie was one of Glenn's special likes, so Carol baked a Glenn St. Charles apple pie with special apples, the first produced from a new tree in our yard.   The first piece of pie was placed on a paper plate on which Carol had written, "Such a Deal".    His arrow was tipped with a 4 blade bear razorhead and placed across the fire and pie.   

Dick bowed and recited the verse of Edgar Guest, "Death, the Collector" as revised for Glenn's  98+ years.   Carol then served a Glenn St. Charles generous slice of delicious apple pie as we remembered.  

There was a slight thunderstorm earlier and the air was clean and fresh with a few new drops of rain as we sat by the fire.  

 
Frank retrieved the razorhead from the ashes and placed if for the memorial picture on Glenn's book.
