There was this day when we had a wonderful outing. We had gone for a picnic in the park and had run across so many people. Catherine seemed to know everyone. And of course her loyal dog, Mister Green, came along for the merriment. I don't think I ever saw him leave her side without a fight. Anyway, as it happened we ended the evening by going to see this performing artist, I can't remember his name any more, but he came up with a poem right on the spot that was so inspiring that when I took a glance across the table I think I saw Catherine shed a tear. She truly was one of the most beautiful people I have ever known (and with her amazing memory she would have remembered the artists name, something my own porous cranium cannot).
