He was a member of the Rodents Masonic Lodge and Rats Local 11453 Cheese Sampler's Union. He leaves his owner, David Duncan, of Springfield, Missouri, along with countless offspring. Can- dlelight funeral services were held january 23 at 10 p.m. in the back yard of the White House. Those who thought college students couldn't get serious need to be reminded of this reverent display of grave sincerity. As five William Jewell students paid their i last ,respects to a rat they loved, several reflected back ont Squirt's short but eventful life. i L Things won't be the same without shim, remarked one. No more messes or odors. i i Steve Bowman, who along with Tim Krause, provided processional music, also read the eulogy and commented after- wards, He Wasn't just a ratto me. He was more like a brother. I particularly remember the time Squirt was perched on my shoulder. My coat was never the same, though, even after the trip to the cleaners. i y , L l . y . He gavethe White Houseia certain warmth, a homelike quality, commented , i a somber Stan Kilpatrick. Tim admitted, He even used to help me with my Chemistry problems. Squirt always had time for a friend and all he asked for in return were crackers. i . Yet, despite the sorrow, life went on. A close friend, David Duncan,was not presentat the funeral, Ron Smothers, his roommate, explained, David was heart- broken at the news of Squirt's death, and found it hard to accept, Besides, I think he had a date. wqc.
