Poetic Obituaries: "I'm not upset. It's not really

for me to decide when I come and go. Those decisions are made by some other forces and it's out of my control. You never know how long you have, how many miles you're going to log on this road trip. When you're ripe, they pluck you," ["Beatlick" Joe] Speer said.

"I'd hoped Joe would have lived long enough to hold a copy of his new book in his hands," [Pamela] Hirst said.

The compilation of Speer's writings, "Backpack Trekker: A 60s Flashback," went to the printer this week and will soon be available on amazon.com, Hirst said.
