: Information Clearing House - ICH : "Listen and listen well O! One who could have been our brother It is not whether we live or die that is important It is how we live and how we die Ask yourself: How would you like to be remembered? Without respect, despised and accursed through the centuries, Or blessed, honored, your passing mourned.
