[nfb-talk] Fwd: [Colorado-talk] with deepest regrets

[Ray Foret jr]

My oh my!!!!  Paul Lorensen was my cane travel instructor while I was a 
student at the Louisiana Center For The Blind:
www.lcb-ruston.com

This was from July 1987 to March 1988.  He and I quickly became fast 
friends; and, he played a huge role in helping me gain the full confidence I 
needed; not, mind you, just in my cane travel instruction, but also, in life 
in general.  How I will miss him.  His honesty was a characteristic I much 
admired in him.  We both shared a great love of Pink Floyd and would often 
speak of an album which at that time was a joint favorite of ours; "Dark 
Side of The Moon".  It remains a favorite of mine to this very day.  I got 
that album for my Birthday on Cassette; and, when I was at the center, I 
bought it on CD for the first time; the excitement of the at that time still 
fairly new medium Still resonating with me and my friends.  Every time I 
play that CD from this point onward Paul, you will be in my thoughts and 
prayers.  Paul was a man who deeply loved life and loved to share it 
willingly with all he knew.  He was the kind of man who never met a 
stranger.  He was a friend to everyone he met.  How I will so deeply miss 
you Paul.  My friend, may your soul rest in eternal peace.

Sincerely yours,
The Constantly Barefooted,
Ray
