Fond memories

If the goal of the retrospective displayed at the Emmy Awards last night was meant to make people think and ponder on all the great actors and actresses that have passed in the last year, it has been a success, at least with me. A year is a long time. Eternal it would seem. It is easy with the number of days in a year to lose track of those who pass on over that span. Bob Hope. Fred Rogers. More recently Johnny Cash, Charles Bronson, and John Ritter passed before us. Katherine Hepburn is another. The look back took a long time tonight, and seemed endless. Johhny Cash got the most applause to that point. Fred Rogers, last, got the ultimate loudest. It was a sad thing, you know, to see those who were on the screen and behind the camera on some truly great TV and films.
