On the Serious Side

Walt Duckworth A Whitewater Longhunter Brother Has Passed On
Walt Duckworth was a True Warrior ...a retired Colonel with the 9th Air Calvary . Flew two tours in Nam , and they didn't come any tougher....but he had a heart as big as the sky . His big old heart just finally gave out . He was a Whitewater Long Hunter Brother , and I was asked to give him a send off at the closing ceremonies . Wasn't sure if I could handle it but we got it done . I sent him off in Irish fashion .....with a toast .....
" May you have entered the gates of Heaven before the Devil knew you were dead "
Then passed a flask of Irish Whiskey around to all .
" Fare Well my Brother "
Sir Edward of the Whitewater Clan
