I guess Fernando - 'heard the drums" - and went home.

No more breathing through his eyelids.

Richard Cash, 83.

Don't know him? Neither did I. But I knew of his influence. His work with cholera is believed to have saved 50 million lives. During cholera outbreaks IV fluids used to be thought superior to oral rehydration given the massive amounts of fluids lost by diarrhea. But in impoverished countries IV supplies and training were/are hard to come by. He helped institute an oral formula that was superior to IV fluid rescuscitation.

Not a lot of people in this era can claim to have done more for humanity.

I love hearing about things like this. The most profound improvements to the human condition are typically accomplished by people you never hear about. RIP Dr Cash.

Greg Gumbel. Who,enjoyed his studio analysis and play by play? He did a Byu basketball game early in his career as play by play guy. When a game on network for byu wasn’t common.

Jimmy Carter.

[BigFatMeanie]

Jimmy Carter.

Farewell, Jimmy.

I'm old enough to remember when Carter beat Ford and when Reagan beat Carter. While I wouldn't have voted for Carter I think he was fundamentally a good and moral person and tried to do what he thought was right.

Jimmy Carter.

IMHO, the best ex president that we have ever had! I don't think he did a particularly good job as president, though he did have some accomplishments (Camp David Accords), but some of problems were due to circumstances, but what a post presidency!

As an aside the Carter/Ford election was the first time I was eligible to vote - absentee from the Language Training Mission. FTR I voted for Ford.

Carter was a terrible president but a great person.
