My point of departure in this onerous task today is important.
It is important because it draws us all towards a vision of Calvert Woods as a very happy soul. A man who felt that life was fun and that laughter was good.

It is my firm belief that Calvert would not want us to remember him in any other way. His was the way of laughter even in the face of adversity.
Laughter filled the air even in the midst of an argument.
His love of life, his happy spirit was almost infectious. He created joy enough to spread all around.
