View all 11 ReflectionsRanger Carr, I came across your stone today at the overlook. You died almost a year before I was born. There is a lot of growth here blocking the view, but I suppose it’s a good metaphor. We’ve had a lot of growth in our world since you left, and perhaps now a lot of “overgrowth.” We are need of trimming both. Your memorial made me stop and pause.
