Sad (obit related NGC)

We seem to get a tearful obit for every drugged out rock-n-roll roadie who's excesses catch up with them, but not a peep when two actual heroes "ride on ahead".

Wow.

Thanks for that.

I'll toast them this evening, and suspect they may have lifted a glass or two over the years.  More importantly, I'll take a few moments while doing that to reflect upon their courage and contributions.

May their memories live on.

Godspeed, and thank you to both.
