HE DIED CLIMBING
In the Alps there is a monument erected to the memory of a man who lost his life seeking to ascend the mountain. The stone bears this simple inscription, “He died climbing.” The three words recite his life of heroism. He did not reach the summit, but he fell with his face toward it. In spite of the struggle, we must go forward.
