Tim Russert died

I think it's sad. I enjoyed him, even when I disagreed with him. I loved his
book Big Russ about his dad as his dad worked on the plane my dad flew in
WWII. I wrote to him when he wrote about that and we corresponded about our
dads. I still wonder if his dad worked on my dad's plane, we never got
around to finding out about that, as daddy was already gone. He was only 58.
Wow. MSNBC is doing mass coverage on it.
