20 NOV 04 Tetrick Funeral Home Elizabethton, TN Carter County . Sam Cross and I attended the celebration of H.P. Langridge's life this afternoon along with dozens of others who had the pleasure of knowing and birding with Howard. Speakers remembered events big and small with warmth and wit so suited for the ceremony. Wallace Coffey acted as Master of Ceremonies and did a wonderful job, as only he could have, telling of Howard's accomplishments and relationships while at the same time keeping the flow of speakers on track. One of the highlights of the evening came for me when Bill Grigsby read from Pete Dunn's, "Feather Quest." Pete Dunn referred to Howard Langridge as the "alpha alpha birder." .
