Tributes to Walter Lord

[Shelley Dziedzic]

Have put together a format for posting tributes for Walter. Hope you may all take a few minutes to drop a line. I will try to include as much as I can fit for each submission-this will be linked into the home site, sent to Walter's friends and registered to search engines. You know I have to have music- the jazz rendition of what you will hear is I'll Be Seeing You. Email address to send tributes is on the page. Thanks.

Lovely page Shelley. I hope it fills up quickly.

Cordially,

I just saw John Clifford's tribute to Walter Lord. Good one John. I hope to see some more from some other people.

Cordially,

[John Clifford]

Thank you, Mike.

I also hope others will share their stories, about reading "A Night To Remember", if not their memories or meeting Walter Lord.

So do I John. Were it not for Walter, the Titanic's story may well have ended up as a little remembered footnote in the history books. I noticed the Michael Koch has something up on the board now. Way to go Mike!

Cordially,
Michael H. Standart

 

[Michael F. Koch]

Thanks, Michael S. BTW, what are the dates for that conference in Topeka? Maybe, I could talk my wife in letting me go, if I'm good =-)

Have a good day!

The Technical Event in Topeka is scheduled for the 20th to the 24th of September of this year and the details can be found in the Let's Meet Folder.

I hope to see you there.

ADDENDUM: I just saw Pat Cook's tribute. Well said Pat!

Cordially,
Michael H. Standart

Am happy to say we have added another page to the incoming tributes- just click at the top of the first tribute page- on where it says (Page 2) to go to the next. We have an original musical composition from one of our ET members going on this weekend. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and leave a message.

That's great news Shelley. I hope this site has dozens of pages by the time the last such memoir comes in.

Cordially,

This composition is brilliant. Walter would be touched. Kudos to John Feeney! People you need to hear this.

 

[John M. Feeney]

Wow! Thanks, Shell and all.

I don't even recall how I came up with the idea, to tell you the truth. It just seemed right, as I mulled over Walter's departure, and evolved from there.

But I was pretty amazed when Shelley talked about the singing of "Auld Lang Syne" at the memorial service. (It was actually "finished" by then.)

Cheers,
John
