Don't be afraid to care
Leave, but don't leave me
Look around
Choose your own ground
Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Run, rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down
It's time to dig another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave

Tell you I’m sorry,
You don’t know how lovely you are
I had to find you,
Tell you I need you,
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets,
And ask me your questions,
Aww let’s go back to the start
Runnin’ in circles,
Comin’ our tails,
Heads on the science apart
Nobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Aww take me back to the start
I was just guessin’,
At numbers and figures,
Pullin’ the puzzles apart
Questions of science,
Science and progress,
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me, (.."how gay is that?")
Come back to haunt me,
Oh when I rush to the start
Runnin’ in circles,
Chasin’ our tails,
Comin’ back as we are
Nobody said it was easy
Aww It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I’m goin’ back to the start

I like that poem Paul! I think that describes Terry pretty well. I'd almost guess he could of written it.
Who is the scientist?
Terry was one of the most beautiful people I've met. I wish I could tell him that.

I found this post on erockonline.com. it was posted by scrapper..."I mentioned 3 stewards of Red River Gorge who inspired and educated me with their sport climbing philosophy while I was at Military Wall. Terry Kindred was one of those guys, and the most open and communicative. He took the time to patiently and encouragingly give me move-by-move beta on Gung Ho, even tho the start took me 10 tries
He and his compatriots gave us all a great demonstration of an efficient retro squad in action, and made the job of bolting seem less like work and more like a work of art for all climbers to enjoy. His passion for sport climbing was obvious and infectious. He dispensed his wisdom with a twinkle in his eye, that let you know he was more than happy to show you the way to sport climbing nirvana. He was also hilarious, using wry wit to make his points. 5 hours around him informed my perspective quite a bit. He died two days ago:

I know that few if any of you knew Terry, and I barely knew him, but if you ever go to RRG and climb a bunch of well-bolted routes, you'll probably be touched by his legacy at some point.
It's interesting to me how some activities in life set our personalities in high relief, indelibly marking moments in time in our minds. I was profoundly affected by the selfless way in which those guys worked, in the heat, to make a better crag for us all. Here's to all route developers! RIP Terry Kindred! May our local route developers and maintainers aspire to be as good to our crags as you were to RRG."
