"...But earthlier happy is the rose distilled, Than that which, withering on the virgin thorn, Grows, lives, and dies in single blessedness." -- A Midsummer Night's Dream --
A beautiful photo. Nothing more gorgeous, than the rose.
Such a lovely tribute to such a lovely person...an Honest Newsman... Sandi ps I've added you to my blogroll because I so love to come and visit and want to encourage others to do so!
I don't know whether you've been able to see some of the tributes his colleagues have put together, but I was surprised how overwhelmed with sadness I felt. He was apparently as he appeared on TV: a big guy with a big heart and a big intellect. He will be much missed.
