Sad

I am deeply saddened by the death of Tim Russert. Probably more than I should be for a man I did not know personally. I am not big into politics but I did enjoy Meet the Press on Sundays.
I remember clearly when he spoke at my college graduation. They actually moved graduation back a couple of hours so he could fly up after Meet the Press. I have no idea who spoke at my grad school or med school graduations so he obviously made an impression. My Nana LOVED Tim Russert, spoke about him as if they were best friends. She was in a wheelchair at my graduation and due to her preferred seating, she sat next to Luke, Tim's son, who was about 11 at the time. I know she is up there trying to tell him all about it right now.
God Speed Tim.
