My brother-in-law Maurice wrote to me toward the end of August 1994 and enclosed some pictures he took on a recent weekend. That photo essay is below. Mo loved the beauty of the West, the quiet of the mountains and especially the calm of lake canoeing. He used every weekend he could to get away into the back country. He and Brian talked every month or so, sometimes for a long time with me occasionally joining in about where he had been most recently. I remember once he was really enthuiastic over a cabin he found on a lake in Idaho. After he sent this essay, we began planning a trip for the three of us to the Grand Canyon -- a place he knew I'd always wanted to see and a place he loved. This photo essay was the last Mo wrote to us. He died
before we could make the Grand Canyon trip with him.
