Jayne Squires: A dear lady who touched many during her life

John and Cathy Chowning write:
We join the many friends of the Squires family in expressing our heartfelt sympathy to Bill and family on the passing of Jayne Squires. Jayne was a dear lady who touched many people during her life. She maintained a strong faith, warm and kind spirit, was a dedicated public school teacher, and lived her Christian faith in serving others in many areas. She and Bill were good friends, our families visited regularly years ago when our children were small, and Bill and I worked together years ago at the Lake Cumberland Area Development District. Bill and Jayne have made substantial contributions, as Christian servant leaders, to our region of Kentucky. May God bless Bill and family in the days ahead, and we thank God for the exemplary and full life of Jayne. - John and Cathy Chowning

Poetry by Robert H. Stone: Past all rules - a sonnet

Past all rules
- a sonnet reflecting on three plays: City of Light, Once Upon A Tree, and Umbrella
Before one recognizes there is choice,
a thousand possibilities are one
unseparated till one raises voice
to question how and why a thing is done.

Before one realizes there is loss,
unlimited the future chances seem
occasions to eliminate the dross
to leave a place for fading second dream.

Before one comprehends it there is hope,
uncountable dim glimpses past all rules
that would reduce to rational life's scope,
replacing sacred art with mundane tools.

To challenge what appears to be firm fixed
requires accepting pain and pleasure mixed.

- Robert Stone, 23 September 2012

Click to The Price of Being a Hero. It is a discussion of his book, Into the Fire, and capsulizes the story leading up to today, with many scenes of the presentation of the Congressional Medal of Honor in the White House, and from the Columbia area and his home near Clay Ridge, KY, with includes many other recognizable Adair Countians as well.
