The Funeral of Dayton Doughty

Dayton Doughty, a friend from the Senior Lunches and from the VFW Post passed away Sunday evening. The Funeral was scheduled for this afternoon. I had decided that I was not going to attend, primarily because I do not like funerals. This morning JD Harper called. JD is the Commander of the VFW Post and was getting a head count of how many VFW members were going to attend Dayton's Funeral. I told him that I did not plan to attend. JD very graciously said "no problem".

From that moment on I was beset with a fierce guilty conscience that compelled me to attend the funeral. I am glad I did. I believe that my presence was appreciated and I can now live with myself.
