Describing ourselves

On March 11, CapeGazette published an obituary of Walter George Bruhl Jr. What makes the obit so special is that Mr. Bruhl had written it before his passing.


He was surrounded by his loving wife of 57 years, Helene Sellers Bruhl, who will now be able to purchase the mink coat which he had always refused her because he believed only minks should wear mink.
...Instead of flowers, Walt would hope that you will do an unexpected and unsolicited act of kindness for some poor unfortunate soul in his name.

It gives us pause to think what we would write to describe our own lives.


Mahmoud Abbas should be happy with the description he received by Aaron David Miller in an article at CNN.


Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian President who will sit with U.S. President Barack Obama on Monday to discuss the state—and the fate--of Secretary of State John Kerry's peace process is a good man and most likely the best partner for peace negotiations that Washington, this Israeli government or any other is likely to have. He's rational, enlightened and a leader who eschews both violence and the dream that somehow, sometime, the armed struggle, or demography will deliver Palestinians their state.
