Reading for Leo
On Tuesday, February 23, we sponsored a reading at the Bucknell Stadler Center for Poetry to honor Leo and to say thank you to the many friends and colleagues, especially in the Bucknell community, who were so kind to us in the aftermath of Leo's passing.
The poet was the accomplished Michael Blumenthal, whose reading that evening was touching, warm and humorous all at once. We are grateful to Michael for the memorable reading.
Our special thanks go to everyone who turned out on that rainy evening, especially Leo's paternal grandparents, who drove several hours to be there; his Great Uncle Jerry and Great Aunt Kathy, who also journeyed several hours for the event; and our dear friend Dianne, who drove more than five hours from Jefferson, Ohio to be there.
Leo's father made opening remarks on behalf of both of us and our children, and you can read those if you like in the comments section, where they're posted as the easiest way to provide them on this blog. Our colleague Robert kindly took pictures of the event, and you can see those here, featuring Leo's grandparents, Mr. Blumenthal, our friend and poet Shara (who runs the Stadler Center), our friend Laura (holding Rory), Dianne with all of us, and Danni's Mom holding her in a beautiful set of photos that Robert captured.
