Below is a link to a video I made as a tribute to our friend Kanoes (Jan.) Hope you don't mind that I borrowed pictures from some of you. The scenic and nature pictures are from Jan's trip reports.

Like me, Jan was a big fan of popular music. He and I would often trade tips on new artists. A few years back Jan turned me on to a talented singer/songwriter and pianist, Regina Spector. He liked her music, especially the song "How," which I used for the sound track. So don your headphones or plug into some speakers to appreciate the music. Jan will be upset if you don't :-)

Wow! Standing ovation on my part.

Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.
