Yes, it was a wonderfully pleasant day as the three of us walked around the gravesite, "away from the things of man". It is very heartwarming that the tape (which ends with the song, "Leader of the Band") is playing just as we arrive at the cemetery.
I added another Dan Fogelberg song ("Forefathers") at the end of the tape, to share at the Ivan & Leone Burnett reunion at Salinas, UT in 2000. So that song plays as we're leaving the cemetery. It's very appropriate for all of us, as we go back "to the things of man", to remember that "we all become forefathers by and by".
(My attempts to attach the mp3 version of the song failed. I'll email it to you.)
