I just got back from a week in Madison. Bapa's funeral was yesterday. It was serious, but not maudlin, as Bapa would have disapproved if it had been too heavy. There was a short military ceremony with 21-gun salute and Taps played by a friend of Bob's. I gave a Tribute at the luncheon afterwards that I might post at a later time. Then Jason, Eric, Mary and I drove all over Madison trying to find a place to give the leftover food. We finally found the Salvation Army and they were happy to accept it. We had fancy clothes on from the funeral, suits, ties, etc and we were driving Bapa's Cadillac, which we parked in the back to be less obvious. If we hadn't found them, we were going to have to drive around and yell out "Buns for Bums..." and see if we got any takers...
