Bennett lib@dogsbark.comMarch 3, 2006, 7:01 pm THE SEBEWA RECOLLECTOR, Bulletin of the Sebewa Center Association, Volume 31, December 1995, Number 3: “GIERMAN: ROBERT WILFRED GIERMAN, our founder, died Saturday, November 11, 1995, age 86 years, 3 months, and 19 days. We could say many things about this man who touched so many lives, but in the end we must print his story the way he wanted it. (This entire issue (Volume 31, Number 3) is dedicated to the telling of his story---his autobiography ~ lib) In the July 1989 issue for his 80th birthday we wrote: “Probably no-one can really succeed him as Editor, because The Recollector is Wilfred and Wilfred is The Recollector”. In June 1986, after he stood on an upright piano while painting the schoolhouse ceiling, fell on his head and broke four vertebrae, we wrote: “Robert Wilfred Gierman is not dead and not yet perfect”. Today he reached perfection! Bill Davis will scatter his ashes at Sunshine. After his own telling of his story, we have included excerpts from various writers on that occasion of his 80th birthday.” Additional Comments: THE SEBEWA RECOLLECTOR, RECENT DEATHS; SUMITTED WITH PERMISSION OF EDITOR, GRAYDEN D.
