"CHARLES GODDARD - LOVER OF HA-TIRE* S HAZARDS"
" Afoot, with pack on back,
Down the last,lonely trail
That leads to the mystic land beyond,
He has passed •••«. leaving us,
His sorrowing friends,behind.
Maybe he has but gone ahead
To blaze the way,
And,canped by sone ethereal stream,
Waits there with outstretched hand
To help us over the difficult places,
When we,too,must pass
Down that last,lonely trail
That leads to that mystic land beyond♦"
(George T.Masury).
