In Memoriam... As members of the Caledonian Society of Alabama pass on, we like to recognize them here. In honor of those who have passed, we offer this verse from the Immortal Bard Robert Burns titled "Epigram on Parting with a Kind Host in the Highlands": When Death's dark stream I ferry o'er,     (A time that surely shall come), In Heav'n itself I'll ask no more,     Than just a Highland welcome.
