Thanks for the heads up Jim! I gave up on FR about 2:15 pm mtn and went over to finish surfing on beta and then it went poof as well. Gave me sometime to check something out after seeing a comment last night at ctv.ca about Madelyn Dunham having “lived through two WW’s.” I went over to “The Honolulu Advertiser” and lo and behold Jr said it! A genius he isn’t!
Quote:
Yesterday, on the campaign trail in Charlotte, N.C., Obama called Dunham a “quiet hero” in his first public comments after her death.
“Some of you heard that my grandmother who helped raise me passed away early this morning,” Obama said to supporters. “She has gone home. She died peacefully in her sleep with my sister at her side and so, there’s great joy as well as tears. I’m not going to talk about it too long because it’s hard to talk about. I want everybody to know, though, about her. Her name is Madelyn Dunham. She was born in Kansas in a small town in 1922, which means she lived through the Great Depression, she lived through two world wars.”
