My God.

There is some great talent on that list,many of whom were
taken too early from us -- and others who took themselves
from us too early. I just cannot believe the amount of time
that has passed since some of those incidents.

WOW.

May they all Rest In Peace,and I thank each and every one
of them for all of their work and contributions to the sport -
and for all of the memories...
