We went to the funeral for Dr. Norman Read, the father of a friend here in Kingston. Dr. Read seems to have been a remarkable man with a remarkable family. He and his wife, both physicians, made their lives here in Kingston for many years. His children, here and in Texas, have lead very full lives, coached and helped by their father. The children and grandchildren made tribute to Dr. Read with eloquence and elegance. We felt we knew him by the end of the service. He seemed to be on of those rare, intelligent individuals who make it all seem easy.
The service was in a very nice chapel with fittings for music and video, both of which were part of the ceremony. After the service we headed up into the hills around Kingston for a dinner on the family's patio. Many of the family's acquaintances were there, celebrating a life well spent.
