Title: Tim Russert... His memory will live forever
Post by: Sassafras on September 07, 2008, 04:58:57 PM
I remember exactly where I was when I read on my cell phone that Tim Russert past away.  Mick and I were at the Blaney Park Rendezvous in Michigan getting ready to go to breakfast at the Dreamland Restaurant.  I read as much on my phone as I could about Tim Russert's passing, although, there was little information at that time.  If we were at home, we would've been glued to the TV watching MSNBC.  But rather being at home, we were about 60 miles west, and we won't be back home until Sunday night.  I don't know why I wanted to watch the TV so close, because all weekend and for the rest of the week when ever there was mention or tribute to Tim Russert, tears would well up in my eyes.  I tried a few times to write this thread since his passing but wasn't able to until now.

If you can, listen to Israel Kamakawiwoole’s "Some Where Over the Rainbow" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A2Jt4WOxN8&feature=related).  This song was played at Tim Russert's funeral where this rainbow showed itself to those mourning his lost.
