John M. Ford, known to his friends as "Mike", died September 25, 2006.
Just over a month later, his friends held a memorial service for him,
and a reception, and a wake that night. As such things go, it was
extremely satisfactory—which is to say, entirely inadequate,
but we did what we could. Elise's choices of readings and readers
was excellent, and Kate Tucker (of the First Universalist Church) did
very well.
