Ode to Lynn Murray For pleasure or for work, he rode with a smile In sunshine or pouring rain, travelling many a mile Horses he loved, be it stallion, gelding or mare And he also treated people with the greatest of care May Lynn ride through the heavens astride one of the best As his spirit lives on through his friends in the West.

The war in the Persian Gulf, crisis situations on the home front and every day struggles make every one of us aware of our own mortality. But we often fail to appreciate the contribution to our lives from the interaction with others. And sometimes it is too late to say ‘thank you.’ Lynn’s helpful ways and his many talents-such as horsemanship skills, leather work and horse shoeing—will be missed. However the wisdom that he shared with others will never be forgotten. None of us can walk in another’s footsteps. But may the memories of the happy times that revolved around him be a comfort to family members and friends. The St. Patrick’s auction list is growing, says chairman Ann Spicer.
