In Memory Of
Oh Great Spirit
Whose voice I hear in the wind.
Whose breath gives life to the world.
Hear me.
I come to You as one of Your many children.
I am small and weak,
I need Your strength and wisdom;
May I walk in beauty.
Make my eyes behold the red and purple of the evening sky;
Make my hands respect the things that You have made,
And my ears sharp to hear Your voice.
Make me wise so that I may know the things
That You have taught Your children;
The lessons that You have hidden in every leaf and rock.
Make me strong ... not to be superior to my brothers
But to be able to fight my greatest enemy ... myself.
Make me ever ready to come to You with straight eyes
So that when life fades as the faded sunset,
My spirit will come to You without shame.
John Brown (Tall Hawk) ... gone but not forgotten!

Robert Simpson (Little Grey Eagle) ... a free spirit!

We're proud to say that we have ridden a trail or two, shared a campfire and been called "Friend" by these wonderful souls. We miss them dearly, but need only visit the many great memories that we have of them to lift our spirits. We will meet again at that Great Rendezvous.
