Captured simply and from the heart. And in spite of the gear changes and the engines growl, I felt the silence, the quiet of those moments. Your thoughts occupying those moments, studying your father, reflecting on the man, comparing, longing to be like him, just as the rest of us have reflected on our fathers. You took us on a short ride, there on the seat beside you, in your father\'s snowplow, reminding us of ourselves, our lives, our fathers, and for all of that I thank you.
