Anchors up, shove off, sail on
Make way for the seafaring man
I wonder, you wander
The wild blue yonder
My Captain, Sail On, Sail On
The winds may be angry and sad today
And joy may be galley bound
But we hear you Grampy
Singing a shanty
My Captain, Sail On, Sail On
And we sing along to remember, remember
A life lived on waves unwavering
Carry on, my dear Captain
Angels beckon from Heaven
My Captain, Sail On, Sail On
We're manning the halyards and hoisting the sails
And we're under way over trembling seas
Anchors aweigh
Over the Chesapeake Bay
My Captain, Sail On, Sail On
And narry a tear or a fear as we smile in thinking
Of father, husband, brother, Grampy, Beloved Captain
We raise our salutes
In slickers and boots
As our Captain sails on, Sail On
Your crew is behind you
Always keeping in mind you
Our Captain, Sail On, Sail On

memorial service
A memorial service will be held at the Annapolis Friends Meeting House, 351 Dubois Road, Annapolis, on Saturday, Feb. 21, at 11 a.m.
Friends Memorial Meeting for Worship:
The Religious Society of Friends holds as the basis of its faith the belief that every human being is endowed with a measure of the Divine Spirit which may be directly experienced. Our manner of worship embodies this belief. We gather in quiet assemblies, mindful of the words: "Be still, and know that I am God." We come together in reverent silence with the desire to draw nearer to God and to understand God's will.
For Friends a memorial meeting is similar in many ways to a meeting for worship. It is not only a time for sharing feelings of loss, but a time for celebrating the life of the departed person. We reflect on the value of that life as it relates to the lives of all of us.
All present share in the process. We sit quietly; at times an individual may be moved to speak, to offer a prayer or a message that has come out of silence. All are welcome to do this.
The responsibility for the spiritual depth of the meeting rests with each attender. Those who keep silence as well as those who give a vocal message do their part when they yield their minds and hearts to the guidance of the Spirit.
Friends hope that in the meeting for worship a consciousness of the Divine Presence will be felt by every attender, and will be a source of direction, strength and comfort after leaving the meeting.

obituary
O. Lloyd Jones, 73, a retired U.S. Naval Academy chemistry professor, died of pancreatic cancer Feb. 10 at his home in Annapolis after a 2-month illness. The son of the late Owen Kenyon and Ruth Brayton Jones, Associate Professor Jones was born July 31, 1935, in Hackensack, N.J.
He earned his A.B. degree in chemistry from Drew University and received his doctorate in chemistry from West Virginia University. While working on his Ph.D., he taught chemistry at West Virginia University. He retired from USNA in January 1997, after more than 32 years.
While a civilian professor, he also coached sailing to the midshipmen aboard the Academy’s 44-foot Luders yawls. A member of the Naval Academy Sailing Squadron for decades, he taught navigation and sailing principles while an advisor aboard the yawls and Class A vessels sailing on the Chesapeake Bay and offshore. He crewed in the Marion to Bermuda race, and was aboard one of four Naval Academy yawls selected to participate in the 1976 Bicentennial Tall Ships Sail Parade on the Hudson River in New York City.
In addition to being an avid sailor, racing his own sailboat Harlech and placing among the top finishers several times in the Great Ocean Race, he cruised many summers to Maine and Cape Cod. He was a Boy Scout leader in Eastport in the early ’70s and was an instructor for a variety of camping badges. In retirement, he played duplicate bridge, traveled extensively, and volunteered his time and energy as a member of the Annapolis Friends Meeting House and Friends of the Light House Shelter, Inc.
He is survived by wife Jeanne Jones, whom he married in 2000; and by children Gwendolyn Jones of Milton, Del.; Deborah Krisko of Boston, Mass.; Teresa Everett of Arnold, and Brian Jones of Annapolis. He is also survived by children Megan Campbell of Columbia and Dylan Jones and their mother Priscilla Jo Jones of Severna Park.
Professor Jones has three grandchildren, Perrin and Andrew Krisko of Boston, Mass.; and Tyler Campbell of Columbia. He is also survived by sisters Elizabeth White of Berkeley Heights, NJ; and Nancy Easterly of Medford, NJ.

7 days a week
Dad has hospice nurses lined up each night of the week. He seems much more comfortable at home and said the hospital bed from hospice is quite comfortable. His voice still sounds strong.

dad's phone
Dad called my house asking what HIS cell phone number is. Turns out that the hospice nurse cannot hear the hand bell from my dad's room to the living room. So Dad will call the house number from his cell to reach the nurse.
His cell number is also the best to use when wanting to reach him directly.

getting settled
I've been talking to Dad and he's getting settled at home. He seems a bit impatient as his different hospice nurses get up to speed and each ask him the same questions which takes some time. But his voice sounds 100% normal now. I can't detect the breathlessness that he'd have at times while at Spa Creek.
