"Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance." (Kahlil Gibran)

I love this website, and would especially like to thank all of you who visit the graves of my neighbor, Barry Rideout; my great-grandfather, Luigi Accursi, and his family; my cousins, Troy William Cole, Albert and Rosalie Tognarelli, and Bill Wessel; my chess partner, Peyton Russell "Russell" House; my other good friends, Carol Admire, Neil Bancroft (Neil B), and Roberta Page; and the memorials I manage for Cynthia Gillig-Stone, Mima McKim-Hill, Chico Mendes, and Boris Nemtsov; as well as the other people in my cemeteries for chess players, poets, social and environmental activists, veterans, those who left this world too soon, and others dear to my heart!

In addition to the memorials of my loved ones and the OTHER PEOPLE DEAR TO MY HEART, I especially want to encourage people to visit my VETERANS MEMORIAL and cemetery for SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTS & PHILANTHROPISTS. All of the people "interred" in those cemeteries made major sacrifices so that the rest of us could live freely in a healthy environment; far too many of them made the ultimate sacrifice at heartbreakingly young ages. Sadly, a lot of them don't get very many flowers. Please show them some love and do what you can to ensure that their sacrifices will never be forgotten.

God bless you all!
