[Ted Craven]

I always take a moment on this day, and at this time of year (just before Canadian Thanksgiving) to remember how thankful I am to have met Howard, and come to know how significant his teachings and his teachers were and are.

It makes me smile to remember one of our last conversations, on his final Birthday in 2008, how he was so touched to know that people still loved him, thought well of him and were still practicing (if sometimes in each their own peculiar ways) what he had taught in his life's work.

Thank you Howard. The beat goes on ...

Ted
