Too many obituaries in the news lately:
McMahon, Fawcett, Jackson (50) and now Mays (50)...coincidence? Sad news for many.
Those are big names in the limelight.
On the personal front, I lost a friend to the big C, just the other day. She did have a full life, traveled extensively, certainly most adventurously. Kept up with education, literature, the arts (as a SUPER volunteer), and inspired countless others to emulate (including yours truly) . Sharp and coherent to the last..she went too soon, even at 87. Not a FAMOUS name, but she made an impact on all who knew her, students, adults, casual and close friends and family.
I'll miss you, SK.
And yes, I shall venture to do things as long as possible...every day filled with excitement and challenge is a special gift!
