I felt bad when Alan Shepherd passed away.

I REALLY felt bad when Ronald Reagan Passed away.

But for some reason, this has really knocked me for a loop. I can’t quite explain it.

Me too. I heard it over the radio as I was driving, it took a lot to hold back most of the tears so I could still see. I'm still bummed about it. I know he was 82 and death is part of life plus old people do die, but still, it seems like we are losing contact with the past as time goes on. Same with the WWII generation, we are losing those guys and gals faster now. Already, the last WWI veteran died last year so we lost contact with that one.
