Roger,
It's great to read your work again. Nice to have you back. As for your fear of lacking as a significant contributor to society, I doubt seriously you have to worry about that. Your article struck a real chord in me as I'm sure it did in everyone who read it. Thanks for the picture of that stream. I'd almost forgotten about the red clay of Louisiana. You've made me realize that time can also be a friend. Memories are made of little capsules of time. Thank God we tend to remember only the good ones.
Welcome home friend,
