Over the weekend, Piper and I attended the memorial for Lars in Almont, CO (near Crested Butte). We saw and spent time with many familiar (and new) lovely people (maybe 150 or so). The memorial (which was under a large outdoor shelter) was beautiful and simple, mostly it was friends and family getting up and sharing stories, reading poems, recalling memories, etc. with some common threads - Lars had a thirst for adventure, his creativity and problem solving were deeply admired and he had been so generous and thoughtful to so many with his time and energies over the decades. Lots of laughing, lots of tears and some more tears.
I read the poem below that I had written.
