My dear wonderful friend Truman, once again you have, with your wonderful way with words, led us thru your journey......I have laughed with you, I have cried with you, I have felt the togetherness with our fellow brokies, and I have sung with you as we all linked arms under the full moon....
Like Ang Lee, you have taken us all to a place where we can love without fear, and remember those who have lived and loved before us....

In my own offering there was Brokenback as well, Sage, from there and from Lightning Flat, gathered on my second favorite trip of all time. Offered for healing for Weldon Culliton and Geoffrey Chapman, who were fine men. I never met them, but I know their sister and daughter and they are fine folks, who still love them.
I hope you dont mind me taking this paragraph out of your beautiuful story..
I am overwhelmed by your gesture of rememberance and healing to my dear dad, Geoff Chapman.....you have no idea how special and honoured i feel for him and for myself, to have had such a symbolic and respectful memorial, to him and his life, made at such a sacred place.....thank you dear Truman, i feel so peaceful, knowing that he walks with men like himself, not afraid, no more hiding....he is free to roam those beautiful mountains....thank you for giving that to him....thank you for the peace you have given to me.
there is still a space between what I know, and what I try to believe....as you know, that "space" for me, shortened considerably from the time I saw our wonderful movie, and then shortened even more, when i joined people like you and so many other wonderful brokies in that "space"....one day my friend I will meet you there in real life, and maybe then the journey will be complete.....
