We drove down to Potter’s memorial service
at Uncle Ed’s dock, in Parker. Later, we scattered his ashes
in Parker Bayou off the stern of the Friendship. A porpoise
rode the bow wave to the dock. Gerald recited Tennyson’s
“Crossing the Bar.” I think Duke sang “Angel Band”
at the memorial service.
We were all living in
Potter had a lot of friends. Everybody loved him.
