Gene Amole's farewell.  Gene was a columnist for the Denver Rocky Mountain News.  When he learned he was dying, he decided to document it in print.  I hadn't been following his columns, so I stopped what I was doing and read the last few he wrote.  It always humbles me to read about a person who's managed to get through the better part of a century.  I'm sort of a history buff and these people are living history.  Another part of our history just died.
