Thank you all for your kind words. Today there was a special reminder report about the plane that landed in the Hudson River a year ago. That means it is only a few days until the first anniversary of the Buffulo crash in which I lost a very good friend. These are sad times. I need to think of happier things.
icedog,
This too shall pass away. Persevere and receive solace from knowing that you had the good fortune to know both of them--if only for a moment.
