HE’S GONE TO MEET THE PRESS Sadly, we have lost another one Those folks who changed our lives He was the one, who we all knew From, Sunday morning, news archives. He was one of those special men Who, all Dads should strive to be And a Son, who loved his Dad The most important, his Family. He never forgot his hometown And the Bills, number one fan He’d have a beer with the boys Just, one of them, a common Man. He's gone up to that Press Corps To join all those passed before He left a mark here on this Earth That, will surely last forevermore. I heard, “He walked with the Kings But kept, the common touch.” And we all are going to miss that Yes, he will be missed, very much.

He was indeed, a cut above most, a media personality who was high-touch, not just high-tech. Tim Russert held everyone accountable for their actions, and always quested for TRUTH. Yes, we lost a really good one, and I will miss seeing him around for the November election. |

I had a strong suspicion that you would be writing about Tim Russert's untimely passing. I have been watching CNN and he was a giant of a man and in more ways than one. Our home towns are only a few miles apart ~ but on opposite sides of the Great Canadian/American Divide ~ namely the 49th parallel. Del, you did a marvelous job with this write.  Linda |
