Rose Island, Newport, Rhode Island
June 2011

To, no matter who is reading this:

If and when I die, I want to be cremated and I want my sons to spread my ashes somewhere on Rose Island, either in the water or on the land or, preferably, both.  This is my last will and testament.*

Rose Island is a beautiful and special place.  It is my favorite place in the world.*  More info may be found here: http://www.roseislandlighthouse.org/


*If I ever own any land in upstate NY or the Poconos, then I want my ashes spread on my property rather than Rose Island, but still in the water and on the land, and still by my sons.  Peace.
