An Appreciation N At ninety-thiry last night Albert was m putting up a stiff fight for life. To Jl) those who knew him best and loved j him most there was no disguising of 1 the fact thatjic toad entered into the m darkest valley but hope sprang etcr-M etcr-M nal.in that dark hour and the prayer III of. every heart was that the morning jj light might bring victory for thesuf-u thesuf-u We miss him here in the office thi3 fl morning," and yCt he does not seem jj very far from us. All around the B pathway of his "elty beat" this mor-J mor-J ning his name is fragrant. Men who j know men lament his loss. They II speak In quiet tones of hisclean up-lll up-lll standing manliness. Of his particular llj and peculiar conscientiousness. Of I his keen cut directness and of his un-I un-I sworving honesty. Ina walk, of ife j "Where some men become betrayers of their kind, Albert Grcenwell kept him- self unspotted. Pronounced . in his , convictions he played ho man false no m matter how diametrically opposed to y his way of thinking and doing that m man's life might be. At an age "where his hopes were high I 111 and his ambitions strong he has been tlfl calTed hence. We who worked with n him honored him for what he was.-wc I honor now the beautiful memory of one jlj who played tho game of life as a genii gen-ii tlenian should. We believe he has i gone to do a bigger work in a fairer world. But we miss him. The Standard Editorial rooms will not appear the same for many days to come. We think we can sec him enter the room again, full of zest because of the story he isjgoing to write; we can hear the quick workmanlike tap of his typewriter, type-writer, and it is -as though he is here yet. It is a great thing to have known him. It is a deep loss to miss him. But it is a wonderfully upbuilding thing to know that we shall see him again. |
