Like your Flannery, he was by all accounts a remarkable human being. <BR/><BR/>This is so sad, yet his life has evidently had purpose, that your wonderful tribute to a man you never knew, now reaches thousands (maybe more) across the world, and gives us that hope that the world is safe in our children's hands.<BR/><BR/>They are doing their best. We can't ask any more than that. <BR/>Wonderful post.

I was thinking the same thing before you mentioned it in your sixth paragraph. <BR/><BR/>Youth is a strange notion these days for me, as is the notion of "senior" citizen. When the hell does that "kick" in? Friend Ralph was 76 when he passed, and I think of that as "too young" these days.murat11https://www.blogger.com/profile/00663364407992075130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732546665913274972.post-41643636197491506152008-06-24T23:07:00.000-06:002008-06-24T23:07:00.000-06:00Hi San!I neglected to tell you that I love the "Ye...Hi San!<BR/><BR/>I neglected to tell you that I love the "Yellow Messenger" painting!
